Convert Ampere-hours (Ah) to Coulombs (C) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
C = Ah × 3600
About Ampere-hours
The ampere-hour (Ah) equals exactly 3 600 C and is the universal capacity unit for rechargeable batteries. Lead-acid car batteries are rated 40-100 Ah; EV traction packs use 50-300 Ah cells; industrial forklift batteries exceed 1 000 Ah. Multiplying Ah by nominal voltage gives watt-hours of stored energy. 1 Ah = 3 600 C = 1 000 mAh.
About Coulombs
The coulomb (C) is the SI derived unit of electric charge, equal to the charge transported by a current of 1 A in 1 s. In the 2019 SI revision it is fixed exactly via the elementary charge: 1 C = 1 / (1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹) e ≈ 6.241 × 10¹⁸ e. Practical benchmarks: a 1 Ah battery stores 3 600 C; a lightning bolt transfers 1-20 C.
