mah vs ah

[tompen]

The readings I am seeing on my BC-9009 are in ah amp hours. I am working with 2700mah batteries, how do I convert ah that to mah so that I can understand accumlated capacity after charging?

m = milli (1000^-1)

It's just a multiplier.

This is what happens when you are accustomed to English units of measure :)

After all, there are no millifeet, millipounds or milligallons...

There is a milliinch though, except it is called a thou.

So if I am looking at a reading of 2.51 Ah how many mAh is that?

Multiply by 1000.....

Did you even click the link above?

milli"X" is 1/1000 of "X". Thus, mAh is 1/1000 of an Ah. You should be able to figure out how to convert 2.51Ah to mAh from that information.

All you are doing is moving the decimal :)

1 AmpHour = 1000milliamp hour

Thanks Gazo and the rest of you, that is what I suspected, that I should just move the decimal point!
