Was just wondering how do you figure out how long a battery lasts if the device uses 100ma and the battery is 600mah?
What is a mah? 600 milli-amp hours?

Yes mah is milli-amp hours.
A 600 mah battery can supply 600 ma for 1 hour.
or
A 600 mah battery can supply 100 ma for 6 hours.
Approximately.
kool that makes perfect sense.
Can you explain kwh too? If a fridge uses 400kwh it's not really 400kw per hour is it :blink:
Yes. Kwh is kilo watts per hour.
1 kwh is 1000 watts consumption for a period of 1 hour
or
1 kwh is 100 watts consumption for a period of 10 hours.
Don't know about your fridge rating. Maybe yearly consumption or something? You better check that.
What exactly does the label say?
400kw per hour:lol:Quote:

Electric motors, without a doubt, draw large amounts of current in any application or use.
This is why solid state devices, such as flash-based mp3 palyers, have a long battery life. Compare this to hard-drive based players which use up batteries much quicker.
