A milliamp-hour is one thousanth of an amp-hour. For example: if you have a fully charged battery of 500 mAh (milliamp-hours), it is able to feed a lamp which draws a current of 500 mA for one hour. It also is able to feed a mobile phone in standby over a period of 50 hours, if it draws a current of 10 mA.

Alternative Answer

A milliampere hour (not 'milliamp hour'!) is one-thousandth of an ampere hour, which is a unit of electrical charge. The SI unit for charge is a coulomb, which is a special name given to an ampere second. So, and ampere hour is 60 x 60, or 360 times larger than a coulomb.

How many hours does 1540 milliamps of power equal?

None. The time depends upon the capacity of the delivery system, eg a battery with a rating of 1200mah (1200 milliamp hours) means it holds enough charge to deliver 1 milliamp for 1200 hours; or it can deliver 2 milliamps for 600 hours, or 1200 milliamps (=1.2 amps) for 1 hour, or 3600 milliamps (= 3.6 amps) for 1/3 hour (= 20 mins), etc.

How does 21.6 Wh compare to 4400mAh?

To compare 21.6 watt-hours (Wh) to 4400 milliamp-hours (mAh), you need to know the voltage of the battery. Watt-hours is a measure of energy, while milliamp-hours is a measure of electric charge. If you assume a common lithium-ion battery voltage of 3.7 volts, you can convert 4400 mAh to watt-hours using the formula: Wh = (mAh × V) / 1000. This would yield approximately 16.28 Wh, which means 21.6 Wh is greater than 4400 mAh at 3.7 V.
