Given Information:

Ampere-hour of battery = 850 mAh

Voltage of battery = 7.4 V

Required Information:

Overall energy Capacity of battery = ?

Answer:

Overall energy Capacity of battery = 22.64 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall energy capacity of the battery is found by

Energy = Ah*Voltage*3600

Convert mili-Ampere-hour into Ampere-hour

850/1000 = 0.85 Ah

Energy = 0.85*7.4*3600

Energy = 22,644 J

or

Energy = 22.64 kJ

Therefore, the overall energy capacity of the battery in Joules is 22.64 kJ

Note:

The factor 3600 is used since there are 60*60 seconds in 1 hour

Charge = current*time

Energy = voltage*charge

Energy = current*voltage*time
