Milliamp-hours to kilowatt-hours

Type a value in mAh to get it in kWh instantly.

0.0185kWh

That's 1.23× as big as a phone battery, while a 10,000 mAh power bank is 2× bigger. That is about 1.233 full phone charges.

What it means

How much energy is that?

Airlines limit spare batteries to 100 Wh without approval, which is why the Wh figure matters.

The math

How to convert mAh to kWh

Charge becomes energy only once you know the voltage: Wh = mAh × V ÷ 1000. The figures below use the voltage selected above.

Example: 5,000 mAh = 0.0185 kWh.

The table below assumes Phone cell (3.7 V). Change the voltage above and every number updates.
