Microcoulombs to Milliampere-Hours Converter

What Is a Microcoulomb?

The microcoulomb is 1/1,000,000 of a coulomb, which is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.

The microcoulomb is a multiple of the coulomb, which is the SI derived unit for electric charge. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for millionths, or 10^-6. Microcoulombs can be abbreviated as μC; for example, 1 microcoulomb can be written as 1 μC.

What Is a Milliampere-Hour?

One milliampere-hour is the electric charge equal to the charge conveyed by a current of one milliampere for one hour. One milliampere-hour is equal to 3.6 coulombs.

The milliampere-hour is a non-SI metric unit for electric charge. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10^-3. A milliampere-hour is sometimes also referred to as a milliamp-hour. Milliampere-hours are usually abbreviated as mAh, although the formally adopted expression is mA·h. The abbreviation mA h is also sometimes used. For example, 1 milliampere-hour can be written as 1 mAh, 1 mA·h, or 1 mA h.

In formal expressions, the centered dot (·) or space is used to separate units used to indicate multiplication in an expression and to avoid conflicting prefixes being misinterpreted as a unit symbol.^[1]
