About Feet-Pound

The feet-pound is a mechanical work unit common in US torque and ballistics contexts.

About Watt Hour

One watt-hour is 3,600 J—the energy from 1 W for one hour. Common for small batteries and device ratings.

How to convert feet-pounds to watt hours

1 feet-pound is equal to 0.00037661609676 watt hour when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:

1 ftlb = (1.3558179483314003 J ÷ 3,600 J) wh = 0.00037661609676 wh

Each feet-pound is defined as 1.3558179483314003 J and each watt hour as 3,600 J in this tool, so one ftlb equals 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 3,600 wh = 0.00037661609676 wh.

Let d(ftlb) be the numeric amount in Feet-Pound (ftlb), and d(wh) the amount in Watt Hour (wh). Then:

d(wh) = d(ftlb) × (1.3558179483314003 / 3,600)

Equivalently, divide by how many ftlb fit into one wh (joules per wh divided by joules per ftlb):

d(wh) = d(ftlb) ÷ 2655.22373739815521

Or: watt hour = feet-pound ÷ 2655.22373739815521

Examples

Example #1: Convert 1 ftlb to watt hour

1 ftlb = 1 ftlb × (1.3558179483314003/3,600) wh = 0.0003766161 wh

1 ftlb = 1 ftlb ÷ 2655.22373739815521 = 0.0003766161 wh

Example #2: Convert 10 ftlb to watt hour

10 ftlb = 10 ftlb × (1.3558179483314003/3,600) wh = 0.003766161 wh

10 ftlb = 10 ftlb ÷ 2655.22373739815521 = 0.003766161 wh

Summary

To convert Feet-Pound to Watt Hour, multiply the value in ftlb by the ratio of joules per ftlb divided by joules per wh. Equivalently: value_wh = value_ftlb × (1.3558179483314003 / 3600). Numerically, 1 ftlb equals 0.0003766160967587223 wh.

Relationship context

You are converting between US / imperial engineering units (BTU, therm, ft·lb) (Feet-Pounds) and electrical energy (watt-hours) (Watt Hours). All values are mapped through joules first. The numeric factor is 3.766161e-4.
