FAQ

How do I convert coulombs to ampere-hours?

Divide the charge in coulombs by 3,600. For example, 5,400 C ÷ 3,600 = 1.5 Ah.

Why divide by 3,600?

One hour contains 3,600 seconds. Since one coulomb equals one ampere-second, dividing by 3,600 converts ampere-seconds to ampere-hours.

When would I convert coulombs to ampere-hours?

This conversion is useful when calculating battery capacity from charge measurements, or when converting physics calculations (in coulombs) to practical battery units.

What is the coulomb in everyday terms?

One coulomb is about the charge in a small camera flash capacitor. A typical smartphone battery holds roughly 10,000-15,000 coulombs (about 3-4 Ah).
