Thanks, I'm converted.

I also think that there are other silly units:

  mAh -> C
  kWh -> J
  kg  -> gv

mAh has always seemed silly to me as well. I get that the actual voltage of a battery is a function of battery charge %, load current, temperature and “other stuff”, but the battery designer/manufacturer knows all this… Why not just tell us how much energy is in it {,k,M}Wh or {,k,M}J?
