Can you explain how those two terms are referring to different things.

Could they just be mistakenly contracting "Watt-hours", to "Watts"?
I don't know "watt" I am talking about...  |
Watts is a power rating; it is a rate of change (like speed).
Watt-hours is a capacity. Thus burning so many watts for such and such a time uses up X Watt-hours (like position which is speed * time).
Thus a battery can contain 5500 Watt-hours of charge and be discharged at a 5.5kW rate for an hour before its dead (neglecting usable capacity).
A good explainer (and says the same thing I just did above LOL):
