Batteries are listed from worst to best according to their percentage of loss of maximum potential charge.
You can see that the number of W/h per A/h varies. They vary depending on how hard you push the battery. The faster the battery discharges the more internal resistance there is in the battery causing it to heat up. The energy used to create heat is energy not used for conversion to watts resulting fewer km travelled per W/h.
Want maximum range out of a battery? Slow down.
Baseline original charge = 800 Wh and 16 Ah.
Battery Usable W/h Available A/h % loss (W/h)
#6* 570.78 12.31 29
#10 691.24 14.54 14
#8 709.10 15.10 11
#3 726.98 15.36 9
#1 733.70 15.82 8
#4 745.50 15.41 7
#7 744.33 15.50 7
#2 741.30 15.66 7 #9 743.25 15.69 7 #5 756.60 15.91 5
There is an asterisk beside #6 battery because the low charge is a result of low voltage due to an internal malfunction - probably a bad cell.
