Watt-hour to kilojoules Conversion
1 watt-hour (W⋅hr) is equal to 3.6 kilojoules (kJ).
1 W⋅hr = 3.6 kJ
or
1 kJ = 0.2777777778 W⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from watt-hour (W⋅hr) to kilojoules (kJ), multiply the energy in watt-hour by 3.6
e(kJ) = e(W⋅hr) × 3.6
Examples:
Convert 1 watt-hour to kilojoules:
e(kJ) = 1W⋅hr × 3.6 = 3.6 kJ

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert watt-hour to kilojoules?
Multiply the value in watt-hour by 3.6 to get the result in kilojoules. For example, 5 W⋅hr × 3.6 = 18 kJ.
How many kilojoules are in 1 watt-hour?
1 watt-hour (W⋅hr) is equal to 3.6 kilojoules (kJ).
How do I convert kilojoules back to watt-hour?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in kilojoules by 3.6 to get the result in watt-hour.
How accurate is the watt-hour to kilojoules conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 3.6 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
