The exoskeletons are mainly built around the person who operates them and are made to order, so Orran's is especially made to fit him. Armored wise, as Erlerwei's exoskeletons are only the framework as depicted in the image below. The frame mainly lines down the arms, legs and has a core pack on the back. As these exoskels are relatively new, they haven't progressed with more armor types, mainly more frame variants, in which they integrated their APR system as a backup. With this setup, it is compact enough for Orran's Aura to cover it, allowing for a dual defense mechanism.

I also do understand that Orran's Page is a long read,  after BoB  he switched over to a second generation Zweite Exoskel which has increased durability and lowered power consumption which also includes having both the Dust Reaction Battery and the Energy Storage Battery. It's still the same framework but in a more streamlined fashion.

As for power consumption, The ESB usually has a 30 minute time window for operation as it is a backup power source. The DRB on the other hand is "theorized" to last from between a dozen hours to a few days, but in actuality it has only a couple hour lifespan, roughly around 2-4 hours on standby. The number lowers if he uses any of the built in equipment and tech and it significantly drops if using Trailblazer. Theres also the risk of the lightning dust exploding if he it is under too much stress, but thats only during TB.
