You're off by 3 orders of magnitude. 30 * 0.1Wh = 3Wh

    That's ( fixed, messed up mah conversion) .1wh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second.

    If a 3090 drew 3 watt hours in 1/30th of a second it would melt.

    Possibly off by one order of magnitude though... Editing post to see, and it looks like I was. 300 images per charge instead of 3000.
