Byte conversion

Description

A tool for converting between bit, Byte, kB, MB, GB, and TB, commonly used in computer science, networking, and storage capacity evaluation.

This calculator converts digital information units. Input any one value, and all others are automatically calculated. Ideal for file size estimation, network speed, and storage device capacity.

Supported Units & Relationships

Unit Full Name Description Conversion
b Bit The smallest unit of information, representing a binary digit (0 or 1) 1 Byte = 8 bits
B Byte Basic data unit in computing, typically composed of 8 bits 1 B = 8 b
kB Kilobyte 1 kB = 1024 Bytes 1 kB = 1024 B
MB Megabyte 1 MB = 1024 kB 1 MB = 1,048,576 B
GB Gigabyte 1 GB = 1024 MB 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 B
TB Terabyte 1 TB = 1024 GB 1 TB = 1,099,511,627,776 B

Key Conversion Formulas

1 Byte = 8 bits
1 kB = 1024 B
1 MB = 1024 kB = 1024² B
1 GB = 1024 MB = 1024³ B
1 TB = 1024 GB = 1024⁴ B

Example Calculations

Example 1:
1 GB = ? Bytes
1 GB = 1024 × 1024 × 1024 = 1,073,741,824 B

Example 2:
100 MB = ? kB
100 × 1024 = 102,400 kB

Example 3:
8,388,608 B = ? MB
8,388,608 ÷ 1,048,576 = 8 MB

Example 4:
1 TB = ? GB
1 TB = 1024 GB

Example 5:
100 Mbps = ? MB/s
100,000,000 bits/s ÷ 8 = 12.5 MB/s

Use Cases

  • File size estimation and compression
  • Network bandwidth calculation (e.g., download speed)
  • Storage device capacity comparison (e.g., SSD, USB)
  • Memory analysis in programming and algorithms
  • Data center and cloud computing resource planning
  • Teaching and student learning

Ah-kWh conversion
Ah-kWh conversion
A web-based tool for converting battery capacity between Amp-hours (Ah) and Kilowatt-hours (kWh), ideal for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and solar power applications. This calculator helps users convert charge capacity (Ah) into energy (kWh), with clear explanations of key battery parameters for better understanding of battery performance and state. Parameter Definitions Parameter Description Capacity Battery capacity in Amp-hours (Ah) , indicating how much current the battery can deliver over time. Kilowatt-hours (kWh) is a unit of energy representing the total stored or delivered power. Formula: kWh = Ah × Voltage (V) ÷ 1000 Voltage (V) The electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts (V). Essential for energy calculation. Depth of Discharge (DoD) The percentage of battery capacity that has been discharged relative to the total capacity. - Complementary to State of Charge (SoC): SoC + DoD = 100% - Can be expressed as % or in Ah - Actual capacity may exceed nominal, so DoD can go beyond 100% (e.g., up to 110%) State of Charge (SoC) The remaining battery charge as a percentage of total capacity. 0% = empty, 100% = full. Depleted Capacity The total amount of energy drawn from the battery, in kWh or Ah. Example Calculation Battery: 50 Ah, 48 V If Depth of Discharge (DoD) = 80% → Energy = 50 × 48 / 1000 = 2.4 kWh Depleted Energy = 2.4 × 80% = 1.92 kWh Use Cases Estimating EV driving range Designing home energy storage systems Calculating available energy in off-grid solar setups Analyzing battery cycle life and efficiency
