Well that's confusing (i.e. getting utterly wrong) 'product' and 'divided'.

kWh is the product of kilowatts *times* hours.


hooray! Saying kW/h is on a par with 'low energy' without staing wattage
(and PF) and time; also advertising primary cells as 'high power' when most
users are interested in the energy stored (even if they don't know it).
