About Feet-Pound
The feet-pound is a mechanical work unit common in US torque and ballistics contexts.
About Kilowatt Hour
One kilowatt-hour is the energy from 1 kW of power for one hour: 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J. Utility bills and battery specs often use kWh.
How to convert feet-pounds to kilowatt hours
1 feet-pound is equal to 3.76616097e-7 kilowatt hour when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:
1 ftlb = (1.3558179483314003 J ÷ 3,600,000 J) kwh = 3.76616097e-7 kwh
Each feet-pound is defined as 1.3558179483314003 J and each kilowatt hour as 3,600,000 J in this tool, so one ftlb equals 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 3,600,000 kwh = 3.76616097e-7 kwh.
Let d(ftlb) be the numeric amount in Feet-Pound (ftlb), and d(kwh) the amount in Kilowatt Hour (kwh). Then:
d(kwh) = d(ftlb) × (1.3558179483314003 / 3,600,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many ftlb fit into one kwh (joules per kwh divided by joules per ftlb):
d(kwh) = d(ftlb) ÷ 2655223.73739815549925
Or: kilowatt hour = feet-pound ÷ 2655223.73739815549925
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 ftlb to kilowatt hour
1 ftlb = 1 ftlb × (1.3558179483314003/3,600,000) kwh = 0.0000003766 kwh
1 ftlb = 1 ftlb ÷ 2655223.73739815549925 = 0.0000003766 kwh
Example #2: Convert 10 ftlb to kilowatt hour
10 ftlb = 10 ftlb × (1.3558179483314003/3,600,000) kwh = 0.0000037662 kwh
10 ftlb = 10 ftlb ÷ 2655223.73739815549925 = 0.0000037662 kwh
Summary
To convert Feet-Pound to Kilowatt Hour, multiply the value in ftlb by the ratio of joules per ftlb divided by joules per kwh. Equivalently: value_kwh = value_ftlb × (1.3558179483314003 / 3600000). Numerically, 1 ftlb equals 3.766160967587223e-7 kwh.
Relationship context
You are converting between US / imperial engineering units (BTU, therm, ft·lb) (Feet-Pounds) and electrical energy (watt-hours) (Kilowatt Hours). All values are mapped through joules first. The numeric factor is 3.766161e-7.
