Convert calorie (nutritional) to watt-hour
Please provide values below to convert calorie (nutritional) [Cal] to watt-hour [W*h], or Convert watt-hour to calorie (nutritional).
1 Cal = 1.163 W*h. To convert calorie (nutritional) to watt-hour, multiply the value by 1.163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 W*h = 0.859845227859 Cal). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Cal = 1.163 W*h
- 1 W*h = 0.859845227859 Cal
- 10 Cal = 11.63 W*h
- 100 Cal = 116.3 W*h
How to Convert Calorie (Nutritional) to Watt-Hour
1 Cal = 1.163 W*h
Example: convert 15 Cal to W*h:
15 Cal = 15 × 1.163 W*h = 17.445 W*h

Calorie (Nutritional)
A calorie (Cal) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of energy provided by food and beverages, specifically representing the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie was first introduced in the 19th century as a unit to quantify energy in nutrition. It has since become a standard measure in dietary and nutritional contexts, although the scientific community often prefers the joule as the SI unit of energy.
Current Use
Calories are widely used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of food and beverages, helping consumers manage dietary intake and energy balance. The term 'Calorie' with a capital 'C' typically refers to kilocalories (kcal), which are equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
