Amp hours and watt hours are related by voltage since 1W = 1v x 1A
Therefore since the portable battery pack is using lithium ion cells with a nominal voltage of 3.7v: 20,000mAh x 3.7v = 74,000mWh = 74Wh
That's actually more than I was expecting, I don't know why, I guess we all learn something new every day. It's also more than the framework battery, though I wouldn't expect it to be a straightforward 1 1/3 charge for the laptop since there will be inefficiencies in the system. I hope this helps!
The framework battery is not 3.7v. Cells can be combined in series (s) or parallel (p). You would describe a battery similar to 10s3p, meaning 10 cells in series (37 volts) in 3 parallels, for a total of 30 cells.
The frame.work battery is a 15.4 VDC battery, with a capacity of 3678 mAh. Meaning its Watt-hours is 15.4 x 3.678 or ~56.6 Wh.
Correct, but the powerbank is 3.7V, which the above comment was talking about...
I uh, .. missed that part.
