Comment on Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?

  I don’t think they know about metric prefixes, Pip.

  Imagine if the marketing people discovered that they could advertise that it has 19 million uWh (in Doctor Evil voice). Don’t say it too loudly though, someone at Apple might hear.

  That would be ideal, but I think at this point there’s just too much marketing momentum using mAh, and switching to mWh would be too confusing to consumers. But yeah, I agree, mWh is definitely the most appropriate unit to use.
