[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8874470, member: 689267"] The xs unit you're referring to is a super capacitor, not a battery. Super capacitors are used in applications requiring many rapid charge/discharge cycles, rather than long-term compact energy storage. Ampere hours (ah) is the amount of energy charge in a battery that enables 1 ampere of current to flow for one hour. Another way of saying it is that 1 Ah is the rating indicating how much amperage a battery can provide for one hour. A higher amp hour battery does really have more capacity. Additionally, they typically last longer than smaller Ah batteries for the same amount of power consumption. A 4Ah battery has twice the capacity of a 2Ah battery, which makes it more durable under the same conditions, that is, it can provide longer use time. That wattage taint is a guide to indicate that the Battery can provide that amount of power. It also depends on if you’re talking motor off or motor on. Higher AH batteries tend to have less continuous and instant discharging whereas the higher amperage units tend to have lower AH or storage capacity. With the Glows as an example, the series 1 will be okay up to around 460+ amps but can do it with spare capacity over a longer period of time whereas the series 2 is in-between and the 3 is purpose built for gobs of continuous/instantaneous power for s shorter period of time with almost no storage.
