Both Battery Life Calculator and Half-Life Calculator sit in the Utility category. They share an underlying model (linear scale factor or affine conversion) but target different outcomes: Battery Life on one side, Half-Life on the other.

Capacity (mAh) / Load (mA) = hours. Discharge rate impacts capacity.
N = N₀ × (½)^(t/T). Radioactive decay, drug clearance, isotopes.

Under the hood, Battery Life Calculator uses linear scale factor or affine conversion fed by source value and source unit. Half-Life Calculator uses linear scale factor or affine conversion fed by source value and source unit. The two are not substitutes; they answer adjacent questions in your workflow.
Pick Battery Life Calculator when your question is about battery life and your inputs are source value and source unit. Pick Half-Life Calculator when the question shifts to half-life and your inputs become source value and source unit. If neither matches what you need, the Utility category hub lists every tool we have for related questions.
Your task is unit conversion in technical work and you already have source value and source unit. The output you need is a value in target unit.

Battery Life Calculator is designed to answer questions about battery life using source value and source unit. Half-Life Calculator is designed for half-life using source value and source unit. They are complementary tools that target different inputs and outputs.
Use Battery Life Calculator when your task is battery life estimate and decision support and you need a battery life result, derived from the inputs above from source value and source unit.
Use Half-Life Calculator when the question is half-life estimate and decision support and your inputs are source value and source unit. The result is a half-life result, derived from the inputs above.
Yes. Both run entirely in your browser, require no login, and are free to use without limits. Your inputs are not transmitted to any server.
Accuracy depends on the inputs you provide, not on the tool. Battery Life Calculator uses linear scale factor or affine conversion and is accurate for battery life when its inputs are correct. Half-Life Calculator uses linear scale factor or affine conversion and is accurate for half-life under the same condition.
