Amp Hours to Amps Calculator
A simple guide to convert Amp Hours (Ah) to Amps (A) and understand battery capacity.
What are Amp Hours (Ah)?
Think of Amp Hours as your battery’s fuel tank size. It tells you how much electrical energy your battery can store. Just like a larger fuel tank lets your car drive longer, more Amp Hours mean your battery can power devices longer.
Simple Example: A 100Ah battery can provide 1 amp for 100 hours, or 10 amps for 10 hours.
What is Amps (A)?
Amps measure how much electricity is flowing at any moment – like water flowing through a pipe. The higher the amps, the more power your device is using.
Quick Fact: A typical phone charger uses about 2 amps, while a laptop might use 3-4 amps.
Converting Amp Hours to Amps
Here’s the simple formula you need:
- Amps = Current flow
- Amp Hours = Battery capacity
- Hours = How long you need power
Real-Life Examples
Example 1: Portable Device
You have:
- A 10Ah battery
- Need to use it for 5 hours
Your device can draw: 2 Amps
10Ah ÷ 5 hours = 2A
Example 2: Power Tool
You have:
- A 20Ah battery
- Need to use it for 4 hours
Your tool can draw: 5 Amps
20Ah ÷ 4 hours = 5A
