Convert electrical power (watts) into energy usage (watt-hours) quickly and accurately. Use this calculator for DC, AC, and battery-powered devices with time input.
Quick Intro: Convert Watts to Watt-Hours
To convert watts to watt-hours, multiply the power in watts by the time the device operates in hours. Watt-hours measure energy consumption, not just instantaneous power. Use this calculator to estimate battery life or electricity costs easily.
Watts to Watt-Hours Calculator Overview
TheWatts to Watt-Hours Calculatorlets you convert power in watts into energy in watt-hours by including the usage time in hours. This is especially useful to estimate battery life, energy consumption, and electricity costs. Just input the power rating and operating time, and get total energy used.
Sample Data Table
Power (Watts) | Time (Hours) | Energy (Watt-Hours) |
---|
100 W | 5 h | 500 Wh |
60 W | 10 h | 600 Wh |
150 W | 2.5 h | 375 Wh |
What is watt-hour (Wh)?
Watt-hour is a unit of energy representing power consumption over time.
How do I convert watts to watt-hours?
Multiply watts by the number of hours the device runs.
Is watt-hour the same as watts?
No, watts measure power; watt-hours measure energy used over time.
Can this calculator be used for AC and DC devices?
Yes, watt-hours apply to all electrical devices.
Why is watt-hour important for batteries?
It helps estimate battery capacity and runtime.
How do I calculate energy consumption?
Use Watt-Hours = Watts × Hours.
Does this include efficiency losses?
No, this is theoretical energy use without losses.
Can I use this for solar panel calculations?
Yes, it helps estimate daily or monthly energy output.
What if the time is less than an hour?
Use decimal values, e.g., 0.5 hours for 30 minutes.
Is this calculator mobile-friendly?
Yes, fully responsive on all devices.
