An ampere-hour or amp-hour (SI symbol A·h or Ah; also denoted Ah) is a unit of electric charge, equal to the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour, or 3600 coulombs.
The ampere-hour is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as electroplating and the 'capacity' of electrical batteries (a battery constituent material's specific capacity is commonly expressed in mA·h/g). The commonly seen milliampere-hour (mA·h or mAh) is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour (3.6coulombs).
A milliampere-second (mA·s) is a unit of measure used in X-ray imaging, diagnostic imaging, and radiation therapy. This quantity is proportional to the total X-ray energy produced by a given X-ray tube operated at a particular voltage. The same total dose can be delivered in different time periods depending on the X-ray tube current.
The Faraday constant is the charge on one mole of electrons, approximately equal to 26.8ampere-hours. It is used in electrochemical calculations.

When exploring the world of batteries, two terms often pop up: 'amp-hour' and 'watt-hours'. But what's the difference? Let's break it down.
First up, amp-hour.
________________________________________
Amp-hour, abbreviated as 'Ah', is a measure of a battery's electrical storage capacity. It tells you how much current a battery can theoretically provide over a period of time.
You can have a 100Ah battery at 12V, a 100Ah battery at 24V or a server rack of 100Ah at 48V. All of these batteries have a different energy capacity. Now when someone asks how big your battery is, you shouldn’t s...

When exploring the world of batteries, two terms often pop up: 'amp-hour' and 'watt-hours'. But what's the difference? Let's break it down.
First up, amp-hour.
________________________________________
Amp-hour, abbreviated as 'Ah', is a measure of a battery's electrical storage capacity. It tells you how much current a battery can theoretically provide over a period of time.
You can have a 100Ah battery at 12V, a 100Ah battery at 24V or a server rack of 100Ah at 48V. All of these batteries have a different energy capacity. Now when someone asks how big your battery is, you shouldn’t say its 100Ah, because it depends on the voltage of the battery.
That’s why we will use Watt hours to accurately measure the energy capacity of a battery. Because Watt hour takes into account the voltage of the battery.
________________________________________
Watt-hours, or 'Wh', represent the total energy a battery holds. It's the product of the battery's voltage and its capacity in amp-hours.
For instance, a 12V battery rated at 100Ah stores 1200 watt-hours of energy. While the 100Ah battery at 24Volts stores double that for a total of 2400 Watt hours. Or a 48Volt 100Ah battery that stores 4800Watt hours of energy.
________________________________________
This watt hour rating gives a clearer picture of how long a battery can power a device. If a fan requires 100 watts to run, the 1200Wh battery can theoretically power this for 12 hours. Because 1200Wh/100W=12 hours. I say theoretically because a battery should never be discharged to 0%, whether it be lead-acid of lithium. Use 50% of the capacity for a lead-acid battery and 80% for a lithium-iron phosphate battery.
________________________________________
In essence, amp-hours give insight into a battery's capacity, watt-hours reveal the total energy it can store. So why do we use Amp hours? This should be used to calculate the charge and discharge rate of a battery, also called C-rate.
The C-rate of a lithium battery is 1C while it is 0.2C for a lead-acid battery. Knowing this, we can calculate the maximum charge and discharge current for the battery under normal conditions.
For example a 100Ah lithium battery can provide a current of 100Amps. while a lead-acid battery can only provide a current of 20Amps. A battery can provide more current, but that will decrease it’s lifespan because the cells will degrade faster.
I talk more about C-rate in my dedicated video about it. There will be a link in the description.

When exploring the world of batteries, two terms often pop up: 'amp-hour' and 'watt-hours'. But what's the difference? Let's break it down.
First up, amp-hour.
________________________________________
Amp-hour, abbreviated as 'Ah', is a measure of a battery's electrical storage capacity. It tells you how much current a battery can theoretically provide over a period of time.
You can have a 100Ah battery at 12V, a 100Ah battery at 24V or a server rack of 100Ah at 48V. All of these batteries have a different energy capacity. Now when someone asks how big your battery is, you shouldn’t say its 100Ah, because it depends on the voltage of the battery.
That’s why we will use Watt hours to accurately measure the energy capacity of a battery. Because Watt hour takes into account the voltage of the battery.
________________________________________
Watt-hours, or 'Wh', represent the total energy a battery holds. It's the product of the battery's voltage and its capacity in amp-hours.
For instance, a 12V battery rated at 100Ah stores 1200 watt-hours of energy. While the 100Ah battery at 24Volts stores double that for a total of 2400 Watt hours. Or a 48Volt 100Ah battery that stores 4800Watt hours of energy.
________________________________________
This watt hour rating gives a clearer picture of how long a battery can power a device. If a fan requires 100 watts to run, the 1200Wh battery can theoretically power this for 12 hours. Because 1200Wh/100W=12 hours. I say theoretically because a battery should never be discharged to 0%, whether it be lead-acid of lithium. Use 50% of the capacity for a lead-acid battery and 80% for a lithium-iron phosphate battery.
________________________________________
In essence, amp-hours give insight into a battery's capacity, watt-hours reveal the total energy it can store. So why do we use Amp hours? This should be used to calculate the charge and discharge rate of a battery, also called C-rate.
The C-rate of a lithium battery is 1C while it is 0.2C for a lead-acid battery. Knowing this, we can calculate the maximum charge and discharge current for the battery under normal conditions.
For example a 100Ah lithium battery can provide a current of 100Amps. while a lead-acid battery can only provide a current of 20Amps. A battery can provide more current, but that will decrease it’s lifespan because the cells will degrade faster.
I talk more about C-rate in my dedicated video about it. There will be a link in the description.

Ampere-hour(Ah) rating of a battery is a measure of its capacity. The Ampere-hour(Ah) rating determines the length of time a battery can deliver a certain amount of current at a rated/ fixed voltage.
life(hours)=Ampere-hour(Ah) rating / Amperes drawn(Ah)
An ampere-hour or amp-hour (SI symbol A·h or Ah; also denoted Ah) is a unit of electric charge, equal to the charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere flowing for one hour, or 3600 coulombs.
The ampere-hour is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as electroplating and the 'capacity' of electrical batteries (a battery constituent material's specific capacity is commonly expressed in mA·h/g). The commonly seen milliampere-hour (mA·h or mAh) is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour (3.6coulombs).
A milliampere-second (mA·s) is a unit of measure used in X-ray imaging, diagnostic imaging, and radiation therapy. This quantity is proportional to the total X-ray energy produced by a given X-ray tube operated at a particular voltage. The same total dose can be delivered in different time periods depending on the X-ray tube current.
The Faraday constant is the charge on one mole of electrons, approximately equal to 26.8ampere-hours. It is used in electrochemical calculations.
