Does this mean I would no longer be able to take my laptop when flying?
I have an extra large battery in my laptop. It would clearly make my new
LED flashlight illegal if I use my 4/100Wh rechargeable batteries & 4
spares.

I wonder how these laws might differ in other countries. The last time I
flew back from South Korea, I had a bunch of wireless batteries in my
check-in bag, because at that time in the USA, you couldn't carry-on
that many batteries. But in Busan, they made me take those batteries out
of my check-in bag & carry them on to the plane. That got me extra
attention going through American Customs. Luckily, I was allowed to keep
them after explaining that I was required to carry them on in Korea.

This is about the commercial shipping and distribution of batteries, not
bringing aboard a personal product with a li-ion in it.
