"We don't reference removing amps per-SE from the battery we remove amp hours" this is not correct amp hours are not a unit of power, amps and watts are but not amp hours.
This is precisely why I said "we don't
reference removing amps per-SE". Amps is the unit of power just like watts or kilowatts but Ah's or watt hours or kWh/kilowatt hours are not the unit of power but what results from time at a given amperage, wattage etc... Of course you responded before I had a chance to clarify that statement, and make it clearer, while you were responding.
For now we are stuck with Ah's as a point of reference because that is how all deep cycle batteries are rated, in Ah's, and how all battery monitors display what has been used, in Ah's. The count amps and translate that into Ah's consumed. In other words we don't say I removed 4A from my battery bank you'd convert it to a time based unit and say we removed 4 Ah's... This is why my original statement used Ah's a the measure of capacity removed not amperes.
We remove X amp over Y time but we do not remove Z Ah. you go on to say this yourself ""Ah's are not amps they are amps X time to arrive at Ah's..." Correct but because that time is short is does not decrease the amps used.
This is why from the beginning of this hair splitting event I have said .5Ah, not .5A, and at 286A for .75 seconds it removes peanuts in Ah's..
Amp hours is a unit of measurement used to determine the useful life of a battery, IE a 10 Ah battery can provide 10 amps for one hour but that is not a unit of power. Amps is the unit of power and the time is whatever time used.
I am fully aware of that and have been saying that from the very beginning.
"1A for any fraction of an hour is not 1 amp hour" not completely correct
If you don't burn the 1A load for 1 hour, and burn it for less than an hour, then you've not used 1Ah. Please show me the math where this is an incorrect statement. I've shown you the math..
but if you only use 1 amp in an hour it is 1 Ah as you have said. If you use more amps then the Ah used will change based on the total amps used in that hour.
Yep simple stuff...
I think the confusion here is you are using amp hour as a unit of energy which it is not.
I am not using Ah's as a unit of energy, though you've certainly tried to twist it as such, I am using it as a unit of measurement.
You do not remove amp hours from a battery you remove amps over a period of time which then becomes amp hours. You say this yourself "Amp hours are simply a reflection of the current (amps) used and for how much of an hour."
Yes....Simple stuff..
You said "1 amp for 1 hour = 1 amp hour" so with that 10 amps for an hour = 10 Ah and 100 amps for an hour = 100 amp hours so 286 amps in an hour = 286 Ah.
Now you're getting it. Now try doing fractions of an hour...
1A for 30 minutes = .5Ah
286A for .75 seconds = 0.06Ah's
