Battery size disparity? Why the difference?

The difference appears to be a mistake. The battery is rated at 5800mAH as can be seen in one of the pictures in this gallery: http://nirslsk.imgur.com/1830t_battery

Robert,I believe I have both and have notice no difference between the two. I don't let them run down and keep them on a regular charging cycle.

I don't seem much different except for one big battery compared to regular batteries. I like the one I have.

The only difference I know about is that the size of the battery is different. The more expensive package uses the Fatpack batteries and the cheaper package contains the Slimpack batteries.

I do not believe it makes any difference. The mAh simply refers to the amount of charge the battery will take. The voltage remains a shade less that 1.5 for most rechargeable single cell batteries.

the battery style is same,EN-EL14a, but the capacity is different, one is 1500mAh, the other is 1230mAh.

I think Mr. Perry's stats might be off a bit. I just measured the battery in my 10 year old ES 500 and it measures close to 6" x 2.6" x 3.75"

I am not sure if there is a standard between manufacturers. Every manufacturer usually have batteries with contacts that are different or in different spots. Now if it is the same manufacturer, the batteries are interchangable between products. Sometimes, they have different size batteries that do the same.

It's slightly larger than my OEM battery, but I never noticed a difference in charge time. Ask Anker - perhaps yours isn't charging correctly.

It was supposed to ship with the 4400 battery right from the beginning but acer didn't have enough 4400mah batteries in stock which is why they decided to ship the first batches with the larger battery. That is what I have read, I will provide a link should I find the article, or just google it.Anyway, I also think that all aspire ones should come with the larger batt. a downgrade like that seems a little unfair.

Voltage is the same.. mAh rating is overstated. It doesn't last as long a genuine battery but for the price I suppose I will live with it. Probably 20% less run time. Also energy retention isn't as long.

The difference is the model number. If you have an old battery, check the model number on the bottom of the battery.

Can't really help much there - I do know that dissimilar batts generally don't play nice in the sandbox. It's an old rule that says you only ask the same flavor to play together. ...unfortunately, with some of the newer ion types, they need to be practically the same service age as well.

In my experience as far as power goes they're the same. I've played both from fully charged to no power at all. Neither one is better or worse than the other when comparing power!

You are incorrect about the torque output of the drill with the smaller battery. The difference is in the run time, not the power.

about the same wieght. you won't notice the difference. still a heavy battery.
