Watts and watt-hours can be confusing, but understanding the difference is key to managing your energy consumption.
A watt (W) measures power, which is the rate at which energy is used. A watt-hour (Wh) measures energy, specifically the amount of energy consumed over a period of time.
Knowing how watts and watt-hours relate to each other helps you understand how much energy your devices use, which can help you save money on your electricity bill. It’s also super helpful for planning battery use for portable devices or off-grid power systems.
This article will explain how to calculate watt-hours from watts and how to calculate watts from watt-hours. We’ll also look at practical examples with common appliances and batteries, and of course, show you a watt hours to watts calculator.
