Conversion Formula

The relationship between Watt-hour and Kilojoule is fixed, so a single multiplier handles every conversion in both directions.

Direction	Formula	Factor
Wh → kJ	`kJ = Wh × 3.600000`	3.600000
kJ → Wh	`Wh = kJ × 0.277778`	0.277778

Example: 1 Wh = 3.600000 kJ.

Frequently Asked Questions
