Introduction
Estimating the Watt-Hours of a battery is crucial for understanding its energy storage capacity. Our online calculator simplifies this calculation based on the battery’s voltage and capacity.
Formula
The formula for calculating Watt-Hours of a battery is given by:
Watt-Hours=Voltage×CapacityWatt-Hours=Voltage×Capacity
How to Use
Follow these simple steps to calculate the Watt-Hours of a battery:
- Enter the voltage of the battery in volts in the “Voltage” input field.
- Input the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours (Ah) in the “Capacity” input field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the Watt-Hours.
- The result will display the calculated Watt-Hours of the battery with precision.
Example
For example, if a battery has a voltage of 12 volts and a capacity of 50 ampere-hours, the calculator would display “Watt-Hours of Battery: 600 Wh.”
