+  * Ah (Amp-hours) - the rated [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|capacity]] of the battery. The basic concept is that a 100Ah battery could theoretically deliver 10A for 10 hours (10A x 10h = 100Ah).  In practice deep cycle batteries are not drained to 0%, and the rate of discharge can affect the apparent capacity.
   * Wh (Watt-hours) - like Ah above, only multiplied by the nominal voltage.
     * 100Ah of lead is 1200Wh (100Ah x 12.0v).
