Ah to kWh Formula
The formula to convert an energy value from ampere-hours to kilowatt-hours is kWh = (Ah x V) / 1000.
Or
Where Ah is the energy value in amp-hours, V is the voltage of the energy source, and kWh is the equivalent energy value in kilowatt-hours.
How to convert amp-hours to kilowatt-hours?
To convert energy value from amp-hours to kilowatt-hours, follow the simple steps below:
- Write down the energy value in amp-hours (Ah).
- Multiply it by the value of the energy source voltage (V).
- Divide the result by 1000.
- The result from the equation is the value of an energy value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Example: Find the maximum energy that can be produced by a 12V battery
What is the maximum energy can a 12V battery rated at 100Ah generates in kWh? Assuming it can use 100% of its capacity.
To find the maximum generated energy by the battery in kilowatt-hours or kWh, use the following formula and follows by entering the given values.
Therefore,
So, the maximum energy generated by a 12V battery with a capacity rated at 100Ah is 1.2 kWh.
