Amperes. Ah is an abbreviation for ampere-hour, or amp-hour. This the total amount of charge a battery can deliver in one hour. A power tool that continuously draws 1.0A of current will completely drain a 1.0 Ah battery pack in one hour (under ideal conditions).Obviously this means that a 2.0Ah battery pack can power the same tool longer than a 1.0Ah battery pack can, assuming the current flow remains at 1.0A and there are no other differences.asically power tool brands can â and please someone correct me if Iâm wrong â swap in higher capacity cells for lower capacity ones in current battery packs. Change battery cell suppliers or select a different line and whoosh 1.5Ah packs become 2.0Ah and 3.0Ah packs become 4.0Ah. But of course itâs not this simple.
The amp-hour rating of a battery (also known as âAHâ) is a measure of how many amps a battery can supply for a period of time. It is calculated using the formula Amps X Hours. For instance, in the ideal world, this rating would mean that if you have a 33AH 12 Volt battery, you should be able to supply 33 Amps (~412 Watts) out of it for 1 hour, or 16.5 Amps (~206 Watts) for 2 hours, or 8.25 Amps (~100 Watts) for 4 hours, etc.
