Understanding Battery Capacity

Battery capacity is a measure of the charge stored by the battery, and is a figure of merit for how long a battery can be expected to last. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh). This calculator determines the required capacity by multiplying the current drawn by the device by the desired runtime.

Formula: Capacity (mAh) = Current (mA) × Time (hours)
