kWh to Ah Formula
The formula to convert an energy value from kilowatt-hours to ampere-hours is Ah = (kWh x 1,000) / V.
Or
Where kWh is the energy value in kilowatt-hours, V is the voltage of the energy source, and Ah is the equivalent energy value in Amp-Hours.
How to convert kilowatt-hours to amp-hours?
To convert energy value from kilowatt-hours to amp-hours, follow the simple steps below:
- Write down the energy value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Multiply it by 1000.
- Divide the result by the value of the energy source voltage (V).
- The result from the equation is the value of an energy value in amp-hours (Ah).
Example: Find the energy capacity of a 12V battery
What is the energy capacity of a 12V battery that can produce 0.7 kWh of electric energy? Assuming it can use 100% of its capacity.
To find the energy capacity of the battery in amp-hours or Ah, use the following formula and follows by entering the given values.
Therefore,
So the energy capacity of the 12V battery is 58.33 Ah.
