I believe you have it backwards. As far as I know, 100% of the AH gets stored in the battery, while perhaps 90% of WH goes in battery. The battery is fully charged at 12.8V, yet we're charging at 14.8V. Where are those 2 extra volts going? This is lost power that goes to heat. It's the cost of charging a battery. That's why WH is meaningless when you what to know how much you put into the battery.

Salvo, even if you use AH, you still don't know how many went into the battery and how much was lost to heat with "accuracy" AFAIK.
