That's not entirely true, a higher amp hour rated battery can safely handle a higher discharge current. Discharging a battery creates heat, you discharge too long and too fast and you'll cook the battery Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Think of it as fuel capacity. The more AH's you carry the longer your run time.
