Under FAA rules for the size of the phantom battery you can carry on a max of 2

Would you like to try that answer again?

From the FAA aircraft battery guide. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t& ... amp;bvm=bv.97653015,d.cWw


Lithium ion batteries (a.k.a.: rechargeable lithium, lithium polymer, LIPO, secondary lithium). Passengers may carry all consumer-sized lithium ion batteries (up to 100 watt hours per battery). This size covers AA, AAA, cell phone, PDA, camera, camcorder, handheld game, tablet, portable drill, and  standard laptop computer batteries. The watt hours (Wh) rating is marked on newer lithium ion batteries and is explained in #3 below. External chargers are also considered to be a battery.

Passengers can also bring two (2) larger lithium ion batteries (100-160 watt hours per battery) in their carry-on.

That is correct. As many as you want up to 99.9 watt hours.

If 100 to 160 watt hours, you can carry two.

Print a copy of the pdf and keep it with you for your flight.  I've found that bureaucrats don't know their jobs very well.
