It's got a constant rate of frequency acceleration?

I'm particularly fond of kWh per year tbh: E/t•t/t

“Honey, can you come down to the bank? I need you to put in your PIN number at the ATM machine, as ASAP as possible!”

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, there's no "per" in mAh.

[–] oerpi@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of course there is, miliAmp per(e) hour,duh.

You got me there. Congrats.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wouldnt that just translate back to it drawing 510ma of current? If you use 510mah in an hour that means you are drawing 510ma of current. That also means for all day battery life you would need a 8000mah battery at least which would make quite the chunky watch lol.

Yup, this is just saying 510mA in a weird way

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, this seems like a metric specifically chosen s.t. it makes intuitive sense to the average person AND it has a nice physical interpretation. Similar to how EU efficiency labels show power draw in W as kWh per 1000h of use

That sounds nice for appliances that run intermittently like refrigerators

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

How many MPG per gallon does it get per mile, though?

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Give 'em a break, I'm sure it's just their first error with units. (Procedes to google "verizon dollars and cents")

Furlongs per fortnight.

And an IRL one I encountered, and some one straight facedly expected me to do scientific research in this unit: The Miner's Inch.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Acre-feet as a unit of volume is one I've heard before.

Absolutely cursed unit.

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Seems like a useful unit for measuring irrigation water.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Its usually on the purchasing side, and yeah, from that perspective it makes sense, especially in deficit irrigation scenarios.

I take far less issue with acre feet than I do with the miner's inch.

Furlongs per fortnite, but its talking about the file size of the uncompiled source code of the current version.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

So this is 510 mA per hour, I guess. That or it just draws 510 mA continuously

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 10 points 1 week ago

510mA per hour is nonsensical because A is an instantaneous measurement. 510 mAh/h is 510 mA. I guess you need a backpack to carry the battery around if you want the watch to last all day.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The battery has the storage capacity to pass 510 mA in an hour. If you discharge at half the capacity of 255 mAh (0.5C) it will be empty after 2 hours.

If it was to draw 51 mAh (0.1C) it would last 10 hours.

But if it would draw 1020 mAh (2C) it would only last 30 minutes

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This is the winning response I think.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not really, it makes sense to give a max current. If a car's top speed is listed as 200 km per hour, it does not mean that it goes this fast continuously.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I get this is a battery but the units don’t make sense unless it’s going at 100% all the time

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really? I have a camera that is rated "3.7 V, 2 A" but only draws that amount from the battery when the flash capacitor is recharging. Yes, the normal current draw would be more helpful, and in case of a watch, the standby current.

This may be the charging current but it would be pretty unusual to pick a value slightly above what legacy USB can deliver (500 mA).

[–] Quatlicopatlix@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

The max rating is important so your powersupply/battery can be sized accordingly. No powersupply can provide a abitrary current at their rated voltage.

Bros time traveling

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

mA / h / h => mAh / h^2^

That's one hell of a measurement unit.

Edith: apparently I'm an idiot

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So it would be

mAh / h => mA

Then?
