In electrical terms, that is less than half a kilowatt hour - but no electric battery could absorb and deliver energy so quickly.

Ampere-hours (A h) is a measure of electrical charge that a battery can deliver.

So little electricity is required that even a small battery can deliver the necessary power for a year or two before having to be replaced.

When fired in unison, these batteries would deliver over 7,000 pounds of ordnance onto the enemy positions with each volley.

The battery delivers current for a short time (seconds to a few minutes), but some thermal batteries can be stored 10 years or more without deterioration.

The total amount of energy the battery can deliver is measured in joules, one joule being a watt-second.

At the Van Cliburn Competition, for instance, a battery of computers does everything but deliver martinis.

The battery delivers, through the wires, a jolt of electricity that incapacitates the suspect.

The lemon battery actually did work, and delivered 8 volts of electricity.

A lithium-ion battery delivers about three hours per charge; additional batteries cost about $250.
