   I found in a lot of cordless tools the higher amp hour rated battery the   
   better.  Generally I have not noted it for light load tools like a   
   cordless drill using small bits, but things like electric chainsaw,   
   angle grinder, etc it was very noticeable.  I do not mean just that the   
   bigger AH rating ran longer.  I mean it delivered more current in a   
   short fixed time period.  The tool performed better.  I've experienced   
   this with relatively cheap lines like Harbor Freights Bauer line and   
   with better pro and pro-sumer cordless tools like Milwaukee and DeWalt.   
   If you follow the YouTube channel "The Torque Test Channel" they mirror   
   this result with more subjective data across a range of tools including   
   drills and impact wrenches.

   Interesting. My high powered tools are corded and I don't have recent   
   experience with new battery tools, or much else that's new, I just prepped a   
   37 year old garden tractor for summer. Maybe the higher Ah packs are newer   
   tech that performs better. Lithium batteries are still evolving.
