What does mAh (milliamp hours) mean?
The milliamp hour is the standard unit of storage capacity for a cell. It is similar to “gallons of fuel” for a combustion engine. The milliamp hour rating of a cell tells how many constant milliamps of current can be supplied by the pack for one hour. This rating can be used to find the duration a battery pack can provide, given a certain draw. Because cells are wired in series, the milliamp hour rating of a pack is the same as the milliamp hour rating of a single cell.
