Watt-hour to kilowatt-hours Conversion
1 watt-hour (W⋅hr) is equal to 0.001 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
1 W⋅hr = 0.001 kWh
or
1 kWh = 1000 W⋅hr
Formula
To convert a energy from watt-hour (W⋅hr) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), divide the energy in watt-hour by 1000
e(kWh) = e(W⋅hr) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 500 watt-hour to kilowatt-hours:
e(kWh) = 500W⋅hr / 1000 = 0.5 kWh

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert watt-hour to kilowatt-hours?
Divide the value in watt-hour by 1000 to get the result in kilowatt-hours. For example, 5 W⋅hr ÷ 1000 = 0.005 kWh.
How many kilowatt-hours are in 1 watt-hour?
1 watt-hour (W⋅hr) is equal to 0.001 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
How do I convert kilowatt-hours back to watt-hour?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in kilowatt-hours by 1000 to get the result in watt-hour.
How accurate is the watt-hour to kilowatt-hours conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
