DefinitionThe milliampere hour, or milliamp hour, symbol mA h, is a non-SI unit of electic charge, accepted for use with the SI. |
The milliampere hour is derived from the ampere (an SI coherent derived unit) and the hour (a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI).
current | × time | = charge | expressed in SI units |
0.001 A | × 3600 s | = 3.6 A s | 3.6 C |
The milliampere hour, m Ah, is a non-SI unit commonly used to quantify the charge stored in an electric battery.
