Calculate Your Device’s Watt-Hours (Wh)

Airlines enforce battery rules in Watt-Hours, not mAh. Calculate your exact capacity and verify flight eligibility.

🔋 حاسبة واط-ساعة (Wh) لبطاريات الليثيوم

بنوك الطاقة تذكر سعتها بالميلي أمبير (mAh)، لكن شركات الطيران تقيد الطاقة بالواط-ساعة (Wh). أقل من 100 Wh مسموح بحرية بحقيبة اليد؛ ومن 100 إلى 160 Wh يتطلب موافقة شركة الطيران.
