Does a 14" ibook g4 battery fit a 12".

I bought a late model 12" Ibook G3, 900mhz for $140.
Im getting a new battery but it seems to have one from a 14" model, same make ibook. Label says 8416, 14.4 volts and 4400mah which matches the battery for a 14" ibook. My 12" battery that i should buy have a lover volt rating and mah level as well & different model number.
My ibook works fine except for the low battery life so my question is can i order an apple battery of the same existing number that in there and will it be correct? I know there are different 'model' numbers of the same make (ie- 8416a or 8416r) battery so if anyone has any insite on that issue, thanks. I just want to order the 14.4 volt/larger mah rating thats correct for my ibook. Make sense?

A 14" battery will not fit a 12" iBook because of the size difference of the laptop, simple as that.

I saw that so i must have a 'different' size battery with that same number which matches the battery number for the 14" battery, or what they say will fit a 14". If the battery i have has the correct label then my dc/logic boards should be different. Im confused.

idiot of the year goes to me, I have a 14" i book.
