Bonsoir,

je ne suis pas sûre de comprendre l'expression "400 Volts at 4,000 amps" dans la phrase suivante. Est-ce qu'on peut traduire par "de 400 volts à 4000 ampères" ?

"The X-1’s lithium ion batteries pack unbelievable power: 400 Volts at 4,000 amps about what you get from a small lightning bolt."

400 volts à 4000 ampères


Explanation:
"400 volts (V) à 4000 ampères (A)" c'est une puissance;
attention, il ne faut pas écrire "de" 400 volts "à" 4000 Ampères; les ampères et les volts sont des unités de mesure de grandeurs différentes (ça ressemblerait à "de 400 pommes à 4000 poires"...)
