Batteries are complicated chemical reactors; exactly what chemicals, in what proportions, in what containers, made of what materials all influence how the battery works.

In general, a more advanced battery will have more capacity (more energy), be able to discharge faster (higher power), take more charges before failing (if rechargeable), last longer on the shelf without dying, etc.
