What does mAh mean in batteries?

  • Answer:

    mAh is a measure of the amount of charge stored in a cell or battery (set of cells). One (1) Ah is the equivalent of 1000mAh, and so the statement can be made that a cell with 2000mAh of stored charge can supply a device drawing one (1) mA for 2000 hours -- before needing replacement or recharge. It also means 1/1000*C/s*3600s.(1 milli= 1/1000, C=Unit for charge, s=seconds) which finally means that a battery rated 1mAh can hold a charge equal to 3.6 coulombs of charge.
