Battery Types. mini Vs large

I presumed the distinction between mini vs large batteries was merely the amount of current they held and that physically they had the same dimensions, however looking at some AEG specifications I notice a few specify mini only, whats the significants of this, if any.

mini batteries have smaller sized cells and smaller connectors

large have bigger cells and large connections

physically they are quite different

Just quick post earlier as I was running out, and im on my way out again now, but ill post more info on batteries later when I get a chance

Yep, And Minis normally only go up to about 1500mah or so where as larges get 4000mah sometimes. Never need that much though:p

Nah, that was all the info I needed. Went and ordered four mini type instead.

*** looks at ridiculously large 10.8v 3600mah battery

indeed, 4000 is overkill

Edit:
Also, the further information I was going to post is the two links below from arnie's:
