Is there such a thing as too many mAh/amps?

So I'm trying to piece together my dna30 mod before they re-stock. I've been doing lots of research. I haven't really come across anybody that isn't concerned about the size of their mod. I've been looking into batteries. And I'm torn. I have experience with Li-Ion batteries but not with Li-Po batteries. I guess what I'm asking is there a certain limit to safe battery power?

I've been looking into running at least 2 of these:
Sony Lithium 26650 Li ion 3 7V 50A 2600mAh US26650VT High Drain EV Battery Cell | eBay

I'm also trying to do some research on these as well (would want to run at least 4):
Turnigy nano-tech 1200mah 1S 15C Round Lipo

I've seen alot of people use Li-Po batteries. My unfamiliarity with them is kinda of keeping me away from them. But if you guys think that that's the smarter way to go, I'm definitely open for suggestions.....

mAH = Milliamp Hours which is an appropriate starting point to consider run time. Amps = Intensity of current, which is how much pressure/draw is being put on the battery. Most batteries have a "C" rating. For example a 2600 mAh with a 2C rating would be able to handle 5200 mA(milliamps) or 5.2 A (Amps). There are several publications on the subject of electrical theory, it is very important to learn the proper use of the vernacular prior to attempting a discussion of electrical engineering
