Abcoulomb quick reference
| Abcoulomb | Coulomb | Milliampere-hour | Millicoulomb |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 abC | = 10 C | ≈ 2.777777778 mAh | = 10000 mC |
| 10 abC | = 100 C | ≈ 27.77777778 mAh | = 100000 mC |
| 100 abC | = 1000 C | ≈ 277.7777778 mAh | = 1000000 mC |
| 1000 abC | = 10000 C | ≈ 2777.777778 mAh | = 10000000 mC |
Where the abcoulomb fits
The next smaller electric charge unit is the milliampere-hour (mAh). 1 abC ≈ 2.777777778 mAh, and 1 mAh = 0.36 abC.
