Watt Hours Calculator

Calculate watt-hours from watts and runtime, amps and volts, battery amp-hours, or kilowatt-hours. This calculator helps estimate energy storage, battery capacity, device runtime, kWh conversion, and electricity cost.

Calculate Watt Hours

Watt-hours = watts × hours. Battery watt-hours = amp-hours × volts.

How the watt hours calculator works

Energy from power:
The calculator multiplies watts by hours to estimate watt-hours.

Battery capacity:
For batteries, it multiplies amp-hours by volts to estimate stored watt-hours.

Usable energy:
Efficiency and usable battery percentage are applied to estimate usable watt-hours and runtime.

Why use a watt hours calculator?

A watt hours calculator helps estimate battery capacity, stored energy, device runtime, appliance energy use, and small power system needs.

It can help with power stations, solar batteries, RV systems, camping setups, laptops, refrigerators, lighting, electronics, e-bikes, and off-grid energy planning.

What your result means

Your result shows total watt-hours, usable watt-hours, kilowatt-hours, estimated cost, runtime hours, amp-hours, watts, volts, efficiency, usable battery percentage, and comparison item estimates.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate watt-hours?

Multiply watts by hours. For example, a 100 watt device running for 8 hours uses 800 watt-hours.

How do I calculate battery watt-hours?

Multiply battery amp-hours by battery voltage. A 12V 100Ah battery has about 1,200 watt-hours before efficiency and usable-capacity adjustments.

What is the difference between watts and watt-hours?

Watts measure power. Watt-hours measure energy used or stored over time.

How many watt-hours are in a kilowatt-hour?

There are 1,000 watt-hours in 1 kilowatt-hour.
