That is usually in xC, where X is a number between 10 and 45 and C is the capacity in mAh.
A mini battery, 1600mAh have a rate of 10C, meaning it can give out 16A of instant current.
A large battery, 3600mAh have a rate of 20C, meaning it can give out up to 72A of instant current. Current is drawn, not pushed. That means that more is ALWAYS better. If your battery can give enought current, it means the motor will not struggle to get power.
It also means a better trigger response, since a motor is an electro magnet. A magnetic strengh is controled by the current in the coil. Higher current means faster, stronger motor. Rising the voltage also rises the current since the motor (resistance) does not change. If the motor would need 20A to run at 100% it means that the small battery will only deliver 16A... making the motor slower to start. The motor when fired in full auto is technically always starting over at the begining of a cycle.
A larger battery only give out the true potential of a battery.
A smaller battery will cause the motor and battery to eat a lot faster because it works harder.

Charge rate is also given in xC. I know for Li batteries, rapid charging can go all the way up to 1C, or 1*(Capacity of Battery). Other than that, correct, sir.
