There are lots of SI units, one for each physical dimension that can be measured. Some of the ones that might apply here are:
- Volts - Coulombs - Watts - Amperes - Seconds - Joules
Some non-SI units that may be acceptable in this context due to common usage:
- Watt-hours (should strictly be joules for this measurement)
