Formula and calculation
Elementary-charge equivalents
N = |Q|/e is the equivalent number of elementary charges, not the total number of electrons in an object. A proton carries +e and an electron −e. The value e = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C is exact. Rounded inputs may give a non-integer equivalent; the symbol is illustrative, not to scale.
Charge, current and time
For constant current, Q = I × t. The graph starts at zero transferred charge and is a straight line, not a real battery charging curve. Time cannot be negative. To find current, time must exceed zero; to find time, current must be nonzero and the signs must agree.
Enter a valid number. t ≥ 0; I = Q/t: t > 0; t = Q/I: I ≠ 0, Q/I ≥ 0
Formula and calculation
Charge over time
Enter a duration greater than zero to display the graph.
Battery charge and energy
Enter a valid number. Q ≥ 0; U > 0
Formula and calculation
Ah and mAh measure charge, not energy. Estimated Wh = Ah × nominal V; this assumes the stated voltage. Real battery voltage, usable capacity and losses vary. This is not a prediction of actual charging time or runtime.
Capacitor charge
Enter a valid number. Ccap > 0
Formula and calculation
For an ideal linear capacitor, Q = Ccap × U. Here Ccap is capacitance in farads (F), not charge in coulombs (C). A farad is not a faraday. A signed voltage gives a signed plate charge; the opposite plate has the opposite charge.
Batch conversion
Enter one value per line or separate values with semicolons, up to 100 values. A decimal point or comma is accepted; do not use thousands separators. The units above apply to every row.

1 C = 1 A·s; 1 Ah = 3,600 C; 1 mAh = 3.6 C. One faraday is one mole of elementary-charge magnitudes, about 96,485.33212331 C. The abC, stC and Fr conversions use conventional CGS factors; displayed decimals and very large particle counts are rounded.
Try an example
5000 mAh = 5 Ah = 18 000 C
2 A × 30 min = 3600 C = 1 Ah
1000 µF × 12 V = 0.012 C = 12 mC
e = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
