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).
