1 kilocalories (kcal) is equal to 1.162222222 watt-hour (W⋅hr).
1 kcal = 1.162222222 W⋅hr
or
1 W⋅hr = 0.8604206501 kcal
Formula
To convert a energy from kilocalories (kcal) to watt-hour (W⋅hr), multiply the energy in kilocalories by 1.162222222
e(W⋅hr) = e(kcal) × 1.162222222
Examples:
Convert 10 kilocalories to watt-hour:
e(W⋅hr) = 10kcal × 1.162222222 = 11.62222222 W⋅hr
