The size of the battery only adds capacity, not power. You gotta increase voltage.
It also increases the amount of current you can draw from the battery at once (the C rating).
Would increase current increase the motors intensity? I guess the motor speed wouldn't increase, but when you start using the motor, the current would help sustain the speed.
To increase current, you have to either increase voltage or decrease the overall resistance of a circuit. For changing resistance of motors, that usually means changing the windings. Meaning it's a matter of part selection during design.
What that means is that when they chose a motor, they needed to take into account the C rating of typical batteries available at the time.
