It's the capacity of the battery, that's the difference.

It's like having a twenty litre fuel tank compared to fifteen litres. The twenty litre tank will last longer. Don't worry about weight issues, their all the same battery size, and to be honest, even if there is a difference in weight, it would be crap all.

I'd say go for whatever you want. Of course, the higher the capacity, the more costly.

I run a 3800 Mah battery in my TT-01 car, it lasts around 20-25 minutes.

Take note: The performance of good quality 3800's will be better than low quality 4200's. Capacity is not a measure of quality.

Assuming they're the same battery and you can afford both then go for the 4200.
