How to Convert Milliampere-Hours to Coulombs

To convert a measurement in milliampere-hours to a measurement in coulombs, multiply the electric charge by the following conversion ratio: 3.6 coulombs/milliampere-hour.

Since one milliampere-hour is equal to 3.6 coulombs, you can use this simple formula to convert:

coulombs = milliampere-hours × 3.6

The electric charge in coulombs is equal to the electric charge in milliampere-hours multiplied by 3.6.

For example, here's how to convert 5 milliampere-hours to coulombs using the formula above.

coulombs = (5 mAh × 3.6) = 18 C

How Many Coulombs Are in a Milliampere-Hour?

There are 3.6 coulombs in a milliampere-hour, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 mAh = 3.6 C

Milliampere-hours and coulombs are both units used to measure electric charge. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

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]

What Is a Coulomb?

One coulomb is the electric charge equal to one ampere of current over one second.^[1]

The coulomb can be expressed as Q_C = I_A × t_s

The charge in coulombs is equal to the current in amperes times the time in seconds.

The coulomb is the SI derived unit for electric charge in the metric system. Coulombs can be abbreviated as C; for example, 1 coulomb can be written as 1 C.
