Calculating Ah from Watts
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
On my van, I have a 12V 100Ah battery.
Let’s say I have a 100W hair dryer that I run through a power inverter. For how many hours can I run it, before the battery capacity ends?
The formula to use is Wh / V
, which in this case means
100Wh/12V = 8,333Ah
1 watt-hour is 1 watt of power expended for 1 hour
Since the battery is 100Ah, I can run it for 12 hours (100Ah / 8,333Ah).
If I had a device that consumed 200W, I could run it for 6 hours.
This assuming the battery is 100% and I can consume 100% of its power, what almost happens with a LiFePo4 battery, but not for regular lead-acid batteries.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
