Does it follow that 8.3 kW instance lasts .1787th of an hour?
No, it would last .0215th of an hour or ~77.5 seconds.
Is it a base 60 thing, how did you do the math?
There's no base 60 involved, it's the energy available divided by the power delivered:
178.8 Watt hours / 8300 Watts ≈ 0.0215 hours
Thanks, Not sure where my math went wrong.
Hours to seconds conversion probably, the number 60 plays a role there. (Albeit not base 60 but mod 60, but I'm not firm enough in the math to rule out that there is some correspondence between the concepts)
