Conversion Formula

kJ/L = kWh/m³ × 3.6

About Kilowatt-hour per cubic metre

The kilowatt-hour per cubic metre (kWh/m³) equals exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/m³. Widely used in battery technology and electrical energy storage: Li-ion cells ≈ 200-700 kWh/m³, pumped hydro ≈ 0.27-1.5 Wh/m³. Also used for volumetric electricity price comparisons. 1 kWh/m³ = 3.6 MJ/m³ = 3600 kJ/m³.

About Kilojoule per litre

The kilojoule per litre (kJ/L) equals exactly 10⁶ J/m³ = 1 MJ/m³ (since 1 L = 10⁻³ m³). The preferred notation in fuel chemistry and food science for volumetric energy content. Gasoline ≈ 34.2 MJ/L, diesel ≈ 35.8 MJ/L, ethanol ≈ 23.4 MJ/L, LPG ≈ 25.5 MJ/L. 1 kJ/L = 1 MJ/m³ = 10⁶ J/m³.
