This is on the right track. I think a slightly better way to explain it is a barrel
of water with a pump. The pump delivers a certain amount of water. Lets say that
the pressure that the pump delivers is the voltage. The capacity, 1200mAH or
1600mAH, is the amount of water in the barrel. A 1600 liter barrel has more water,
or capacity, than a 1600 liter barrel. The pump can deliver 1.2V longer from the
1600 liter barrel than from the 1200 liter barrel.
