how to easily Convert mAh to Ah

 

How to Convert mAh to Ah

1 Ah = 1,000 mAh

So, to convert milliampere-hours to ampere-hours, remember that:1 mAh is equal to 0.001 Ah

To convert mAh to Ah, you need to divide the mAh by 1,000 to get to the Ah. You do the same thing to convert milliamps to amps and divide it by 1,000.

Example of How to Convert mAh to Ah

To better illustrate this calculation, we’re going to use one of our products as an example. 

Your neighbor said you can use his 12v lifepo4 battery. He tells you it provides 206,000 mAh. A battery that has a higher capacity takes longer to discharge than a battery with a lower capacity. 

But, you want to know how many amp hours this battery provides you. So you take the mAh, which is 206,000, and divide it by 1,000. The answer is  206. 

Therefore, the battery produces 206 Ah. This means that the battery allows 206 amps of current to flow in 1 hour, or 1 amp for 206 hours. 

Once you’ve used a home amp calculator or an RV amp calculator to calculate the amount of current you need, you’ll know if the battery you’re looking at is suitable for your needs.
