What’s the Difference Between mAh and Wh?
The most frequent question we receive at Shopxtreme.com is: What's mAh? If you have the same questions then read on and if you know what it is then you may want to read on as well since many manufacturer'e are listing both mAh to Wh. You can use the following formula to convert one to the other
Wh capacity=(mAh capacity/1000)* voltage
Basically both measurements are an indicator of how long a battery runs your device on a full charge. A simple way to look at this is to think of it as how much gas you have in your tank. The higher the number, the longer your battery runs. This is achieved by using higher capacity cells in the battery. The cells are the same size ( your gas tank does not get any bigger, you are just using fuel that is more powerful) and therefore the battery is the same size. As with most everything else in life, more also costs more. The higher the capacity the more expensive the battery so when it comes to choosing which capacity to buy, consider how you intend to use your device. In most cases you would pay close to two times the price of the lowest capacity battery for the highest capacity battery. If carrying an extra battery and more frequent battery swamping is not a bother to you then buying two lower capacity batteries is perhaps the better choice but if you tend to carry your device without an additional battery or a spare charger then you should consider buying the highest capacity battery. At Shopxtreme.com we offer 3 capacities for most of our batteries and let you choose which best serves your needs.
