Dude, Granpa and Tony explained quite clearly, you don't need anything special in battery in a mini. And old crapper will do. The only question is if you need a round one or you can get away with a square one (don't know if you run an M05 V1 or V2).
Other than that, keep in mind more powerful batteries are heavier (all those electrons) which no doubt will kill your acceleration.
