You know, you’re absolutely right! I don’t know how that one slipped me by! Must have been a late night when I wrote it! Thanks for the update.

This website is a great resource! However, I found a minor error in the arithmetic above where it says “For example, a 12 volt battery with a rating of 80 Ah would be: 12 x 80 = 1200 Wh.” Shouldn’t that equal 960 Wh since 12 x 80 = 960?

The subsequent kWh calculation should be 960 Wh / 1000 = 0.960 kWh.

Thanks.
