You could measure their max. output in W.
~But yeah, you are technically correct~

Batteries don’t come in MW, GW, or even W. That’s a measure of power. As in how fast it is being created or consumed.
Batteries don’t create or consume power, they store it.
That is measured i Wh, MWh, or GWh.

Sir this is my shitpost not a Ted talk. I am referring to 1 MWh batteries.

Memes can be misinformation, too, so that isn’t an excuse.

Oh, sorry.
Come to think of it, you can actually pull 930 gigawatts from any battery. Just not for very long.
Does that sokve the problem?

You really can’t though. The batteries both have a capacity (kWh/MWh) and discharge power (kW/MW) rating, but it’s usually the capacity that is the limiting one. And for extra fun, the discharge power goes up as the battery has more charge, and the charging rate goes down.

It’s just a rating. All cells are rated for some given amount of amps, but you can actually exceed that rating in bursts.
So I’m jokingly pointing out that you can theoretically pull as many watts as you want.
You can turn a MWh of energy into a GW of power, as long as you compress it into a short enough duration.
The battery (or any part of the circuit) just won’t survive the event :D
