Topic: Ah, A/h? I don't get the units...

[Sean Gallemore]

is it Amps * hours or Amps / hours?


Amps per hour hour would make sense, but I fear it is the former.  I can still do the calcs, but it doesn't make as much sense to me logically.

For example, if it's Amps/hour, then it appears to be a rate at which it is discharging, kinda like MPH.  

I just can't think 4th dimensionally...

this is me trying to figure out the units at 3 am in the morning with my Pocket Reference

Those corndogs are rewired by SP so whatever you do, DO NOT send them 48v!!

schwilster;

it's ampere X hour, called "amp hour" or "mili-amp hour".  it's not a rate, but rather just a number representing a power source's capacity.

the unit "ampere" is actually a rate if you want to get technical, but we shouldn't get into that.

thanx marc, I was hoping someone would take this thread seriously

This is precisely how Schwilly explained it to me that night. No difference.

[Sean Gallemore]

yeah, but then I started thinking too much and I got all confused

Simple solution...don't think too much.

Simple solution...don't think too much.

i got a fantastic analogy:

your bladder's capacity:  ampere*hour (AH)
the piss:  current (ampere) aka "the yellow flow", "mellow yellow", etc. etc.
the pressure difference between the bladder and the outside world:  voltage (V).  squeeze that secret muscle and the pressure increases, etc. etc.
the blockage: impedence. not-friendly to catheters (sp)

larger the bladder, the more capacity it has, therefore, more current it will provide for a longer amount of time.

i got some nice illustrations if you folks want some  

hehehehe,

Hoping I never have to piss for 1 hour!

I'm particularly interested in this secret muscle

thanx for the visuals too
