Ampere hour to Milliampere hour

Exact answer: 1 Ah = 1000 mAh (exact defined factor)

Ampere hour and Milliampere hour describe the same quantity from the Electric charge family but come from different systems of units. The factor is defined exactly. Charge appears with batteries, power banks, capacitors and in electrical engineering.

Examples

010.5 Ah = 500 mAh

Example value from the reference table. Internal calculation uses stored factors; display output is rounded.

02Common mistake

Ampere hours measure charge, watt hours measure energy. mAh and Wh are only linked through voltage: Wh = Ah × volts. Two batteries with identical mAh can store different amounts of energy.

03Base unit: C

1 Ah = 3600 C. Then the value is converted through the base unit C into Milliampere hour.

Factor origin

Factors come from the stored source family and are not derived from rounded display values.

Rounding rule

UnitCloud keeps calculating with stored factors and rounds only the displayed output by selected precision.

When not to use

Do not use as the sole basis for official, medical, safety-critical or contractual decisions.
