The watt-hour (Wh) equals 3,600 joules, representing the energy consumed by a one-watt device operating for one hour. It is commonly used for small battery capacities, solar panel output ratings, and electric vehicle charging metrics where kilowatt-hours would be too large a unit. One watt-hour equals exactly 0.001 kilowatt-hours or about 3.412 BTU.
