kilowatt-hour per kilogram
Specific energySpecific latent heatexact by definition
One kilowatt-hour per kilogram, equal to 3.6 MJ/kg. It appears where the quantities are large enough that watt-hours would be unwieldy, and in some fuel-cell and hydrogen literature.

As a unit of specific latent heat
The kilowatt-hour per kilogram is exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/kg, or 3.6 MJ/kg. It is the convenient scale for fuels compared against electricity: gasoline is about 12.9 kW·h/kg, which is why the energy density argument in transport is not close and the efficiency argument is.
