Ampere Hours (Ah)

Unit of measurement used to measure the ability of the battery to store electricity or the capacity. The storage capacity is obtained by multiplying the outflowing current in amperes by the discharge time in hours. Ampere hours are abbreviated to Ah.

Example: 

A battery that supplies 3 amperes for 20 hours provides 3 A x 20 h = 60 Ah.
