500 farad is approximately equal to 50,000,000 mah.
This conversion is based on the relationship that 1 farad equals 1000 mah when considering voltage at 1 volt. Since 1 farad is a measure of capacitance, to get mah, which measures charge in milliampere-hours, you multiply the capacitance by the voltage and convert to mah. For a 1V system, 500F equals 500,000 mAh. If voltage differs, the value changes proportionally.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from farad to mah involves multiplying the capacitance value by the voltage in volts and converting the result into milliampere-hours. Since 1 farad equals 1 coulomb per volt, and 1 coulomb equals 1 ampere-second, to get mah, you multiply by voltage and divide by 3600. For example, at 1V, 500F equals 500 coulombs, which is 500/3.6 mah, but simplified as 1000 mah per farad at 1V. So, for 500F at 1V, it’s 500,000 mah, which simplifies as 500F * 1000 mah = 50,000,000 mah.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 farad at 1V:
- Step 1: Use the formula: mah = farad * voltage * 1000
- Step 2: 100 * 1 * 1000 = 100,000 mah
- Result: 100 farad equals 100,000 mah
- Convert 250 farad at 1V:
- Step 1: Multiply 250 by 1 and then by 1000
- Step 2: 250 * 1 * 1000 = 250,000 mah
- Result: 250 farad equals 250,000 mah
- Convert 50 farad at 1V:
- Step 1: Multiply 50 by 1 and then by 1000
- Step 2: 50 * 1 * 1000 = 50,000 mah
- Result: 50 farad equals 50,000 mah
- Convert 10 farad at 1V:
- Step 1: 10 * 1 * 1000 = 10,000 mah
- Result: 10 farad equals 10,000 mah
- Convert 500 farad at 2V:
- Step 1: Multiply 500 by 2 and then by 1000
- Step 2: 500 * 2 * 1000 = 1,000,000 mah
- Result: 500 farad at 2V equals 1,000,000 mah

Conversion Definitions
Farad: A farad is the unit of capacitance, indicating a capacitor’s ability to store electrical charge, where 1 farad equals 1 coulomb per volt, representing how much charge a capacitor can hold at a given voltage.
Mah: Milliampere-hour (mah) measures electric charge, showing how much current flows over time. It is used to describe battery capacity, indicating how long a device can run at a specified current before depleting its charge.
Conversion FAQs
How does voltage influence the mah value when converting from farad?
Voltage directly impacts mah because the total charge stored in a capacitor is proportional to the voltage. Increasing voltage increases the charge linearly, thus raising the mah value. Therefore, for a fixed capacitance, higher voltage results in higher mah.
Why is the conversion from farad to mah only valid at a certain voltage?
Because the relationship between capacitance and charge depends on voltage, the conversion formula assumes a specific voltage, usually 1V. Changing voltage alters the charge stored, so the mah value is only accurate if the voltage is known and constant.
Can I convert any farad value to mah without knowing the voltage?
Not accurately. Since mah depends on both capacitance and voltage, you need to know the voltage to perform a meaningful conversion. Without voltage, only the capacitance value is known, making the mah calculation incomplete or approximate.
What is the practical use of converting farad to mah?
This conversion helps estimate how much energy a capacitor can deliver over time, especially in battery or energy storage applications. Knowing mah allows engineers to compare capacitors and batteries based on stored charge capacity in familiar units.
