An ampere-hour is one ampere for one hour.

A ampere is one coulomb per second, so an ampere-hour is a transfer of charge of 3600 coulombs.

Volts = Amps x Resistance so Amps = Volts / Resistance

If you know Watts you can also compute Amps because Watts = Volts x Amps x PowerFactor.

In many cases you can set PowerFactor to 1 if motors are not involved. As an example if you have two 120 Watt Light Bulbs turned on and you have 120 V AC service (Typical) then the amperage being consumed would be 1 Amp.

Total battery amp hours of the battery, divided by the amp draw, equals the life of the battery.


Example=

200 amp hours, divided by 5 amps, equals 40.00 hours.


There are many different factors. This is based on constant draw.

What is an Ampere hour?

An ampere hour (A.h) is a non-SI unit of measurement for electrical charge (the SI unit is a coulomb-which is equivalent to an 'ampere second'). So an ampere hour is equivalent to 3600 coulombs.Cells and batteries are generally rated in terms of ampere hours, as a convenient alternative to the kilocoulomb.

I am not sure what you mean, but ampere is a unit of current, not of energy. In the case of a constant current, if the current is 1 ampere in a second, it will be 1 ampere in an hour, or in a day.

How much charging ampere required for 200 apmere lead acid battery for ups 12 volt?

To find our what charging ampere to use a simple way is to divide the battery Ampere with its ampere hour (i.e. for car batteries they will say 75ah C/20) this means that the battery has 75 ampere rating based on 20 hour rating... as such to find the charging ampere divide 75 by 20 to get a charging ampere of 3.75... this is for a slow charge - to speed up the charge divide the ampere by 5 hours (to charge the battery from empty to full in 5 hours)...


How do you get ampere hour from watt hour?

Watt = ampere x volt. So if you know the voltage, you can convert amperes to watts or vice versa. If not, you don't have enough information.AnswerThe ampere hour (A.h) is a unit of measurement for electric charge (the SI unit being a coulomb). The watt hour (W.h) is a unit of measurement for electrical energy (the SI unit being a joule).In the case of cells and batteries, if you multiply its capacity (in ampere hours) by the voltage, then you'll have its capacity in watt hours.

How many amps equal one amp hour?

You can't convert amperes to ampere-hours, for the same reason that you can't (for example) convert kilometers to kilometers per hour, meters to square meters, etc. Those are, quite simply, incompatible units. An ampere is a unit of electrical current; an ampere-hour is really a unit of energy: the energy stored when a current of 1 ampere flows during one hour. To actually be an energy unit, a voltage must be assumed; this is usually 12 volt for a car battery.


Car batteries are normally rated in ampere-hour What does this mean?

simple. lets imagine you have a 70 Amp Hour battery (technically an accumulator, not a battery, but thats not important). the designation means it can sustain a 1 ampere continuous drain for 70 hours, or a 70 ampere drain for 1 hour. these figures are usually validated by certain temperature ranges etc,, hope this helps.
