If 1 watt is 1 joule per second then, honestly, what are we doing with watt-hours?

Why can’t battery capacity be described in joules? And then charge and discharge being a function of voltage and current, could be represented in joules per unit time. Instead its watt-hours for capacity, watts for flow rate.

Watt-hours… that’s joules / seconds * hours? This is cursed.
