What is a Wh to Ah Calculator?

A Wh to Ah Calculator converts electrical energy into battery capacity using voltage, making battery sizing, runtime estimation, and energy planning easier.

Watt Hours

Watt-hours (Wh) measure stored electrical energy. This unit shows how much energy a battery can deliver over time and appears on lithium-ion batteries, portable power stations, solar batteries, UPS systems, and EV battery packs. Wh combines power and time to describe total energy capacity.

Amp Hours

Amp-hours (Ah) measure battery charge capacity. They indicate how much current a battery can supply over a specified period. Ah ratings commonly appear on deep-cycle batteries, AGM batteries, lead-acid batteries, LiFePO4 batteries, and marine batteries used in backup and renewable energy systems.

Wh to Ah Conversion Formula

Use battery voltage to convert watt-hours into amp-hours and estimate usable battery capacity accurately.

Wh to Ah Formula

Convert energy into capacity using:

Ah=WhV Ah = \frac{Wh}{V}

Where:

  • AhAh = Amp-hours
  • WhWh = Watt-hours
  • VV = Voltage

Ah to Wh Formula

Convert capacity back into energy using:

Wh=Ah×V Wh = Ah \times V

This formula estimates stored electrical energy.

Practical Example of Wh to Ah Calculations

A 480Wh battery operating at 12V:

Ah=48012 Ah = \frac{480}{12}

Ah=40 Ah = 40

Result: 480Wh = 40Ah at 12V
