Amp-hour capacity
Amp-hour (Ah) capacity measures a battery's ability to store and deliver electrical energy over time. It indicates how much current a battery can provide for a specific period; for example, a 100 Ah battery can theoretically supply 1 amp of current for 100 hours or 10 amps for 10 hours before needing to be recharged. This measurement helps evaluate the battery's longevity and suitability for various applications, such as in vehicles or solar systems. Essentially, it shows the battery's overall energy capacity, with higher Ah values offering longer runtime for devices or systems.
