This is true, but it is exactly what I am railing against. It's just tradition -- energy in houses is kWh, so let's use that for other things too.

Instead, let's just use Joules everywhere. Easy peasy. Why are my batteries rated in Ah -- it's not like they're providing a variable voltage source; just give me Joules.

I know this is a ridiculous hill to die on, but I will die on it!

They are, technically. https://www.batterypowertips.com/how-to-read-battery-dischar...

Probably doesn't matter though. :)
