can i try to answer that question?
it's really hard to tell difference since none of them exists (except of few exo prototypes) and that means that there is no official terminology, but I think it is like this:
1)exosuit - simply armor that boosts abilities of its wielder (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. exosuits , Crysis nanosuit?);
2)power armor - heavy version of previous armor (space marine armor, personnal armor from section 8);
3)battlesuit - pilot is controlling it from inside the torso by moving his own arms, legs..(from section 8, avatar, district 9, killzone?, atlas from me3?);
4)mechs - piloted like any other vehicle (battlefield 2142, various vehicles from battletech universe)
so here are all major sci-fi "humanoid-armors"
but it can change a lot if more armor types are put

I thought power armor is such a thing that's a part of you, or you are a part of it, but battle suit could be just a simple suit like the medieval armors... ?
