 The battery capacity $C$ is often given in $\mathrm{Ah}$ (Ampère hours) or $\mathrm{mAh}$ (milli-Ampère hours).  The battery capacity $C$ is often given in $\mathrm{Ah}$ (Ampère hours) or $\mathrm{mAh}$ (milli-Ampère hours). 
 \\ In fact, the unit $\mathrm{As} = \mathrm{C}$ (Coulomb) is the amount of available electrical charge in the battery. \\ In fact, the unit $\mathrm{As} = \mathrm{C}$ (Coulomb) is the amount of available electrical charge in the battery.
 \\ Example: If a battery of $C = 1\,\mathrm{Ah}$ is discharged with a current of $1\,\mathrm{A}$ then it takes 1 hour until it is discharged. \\ Example: If a battery of $C = 1\,\mathrm{Ah}$ is discharged with a current of $1\,\mathrm{A}$ then it takes 1 hour until it is discharged.
