Watt-hour to British thermal unit converter (wh to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 wh = 3.412 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Watt-hour = 3.60k joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 wh = (3.60k J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 3.412 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in wh by 3.412 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 wh to btu:

5 wh × 3.412 = 17.061 btu
