The US is banning lithium batteries from cargo holds. The result will mean that all your phones, tablets, computers, music players, games consoles, and other rechargeable devices must be carried in hand luggage and tipped out onto trays to go through the metal detectors. Expect longer lines.

Wh. 100Wh.
The delta quote above is therefore weird.
"Lithium Ion (rechargeable batteries) – Each battery cannot exceed a rating of 100 Watt-hour unless you have express permission from the airline. However even in this case, you are limited to a maximum of two batteries with maximum ratings of 160 Watt-hour and they must be in carry-on luggage only. There is an exception for Lithium-Ion wheelchair batteries up to 300 Watt-hours, but limited to one battery and it must be disconnected. See above for how to find out the Watt-hour rating of your batteries." [1]
