A lot more capacity is the difference. It's like what's the
difference between a triple-A cell and a D-cell. They're the same
voltage, but the D-cell has a lot more power stored in it than the
triple-A (at least theoretically- some cheap D-cells from China are
triple-A's in big mostly-empty D-cell cases, and most if not all
rechargables larger than double-A are just double-A's in bigger
casings).
