The battery is a bottle. The ends of the battery are the spout the bottle pours from. The spout stays the same no matter which bottle you use but you can make the bottle bigger. The bigger the bottle the more water you can fit inside and the more water you can fit inside the longer it takes for the water to drain before you have to get a new bottle

Simply put larger batteries have more stored power for longer, higher ‘volumes’ of power. They put out the same amount of power they just hold different amounts of it.
Batteries are like gas tanks. A big pickup truck will have a massive tank because it doesn’t use the gas very efficiently. That’s like your D battery. A little car will have a smaller tank. Not only because it can use the same gas more efficient but you also don’t want to put a massive tank in something so small, this will cause weight issues and it’s just overkill. There’s your little AAA battery.
Now imagine something in your everyday life that uses batteries. A TV remote for example. They can last years on just a couple AAA batteries. Why would you want to instead use massive D batteries in that. Youd make the remote massive and unwieldy just to extend the already long life it can get out of something smaller.
Technically those are “cells”. A battery of hens, guns, or cells is a grouped collection of such. Often an electrochemical battery will be some multiple of the cell voltage, as each cell is connected end-to-end (series). But a single cell is often called a battery anyway.
The voltage is determined by the cell chemistry, but the total amount of energy is determined by the capacity of the cell to deliver electrical charge. Larger cell means more chemicals to react, which means more energy to store and supply.
