[MRCA] BB-2590's and airlines

[W2HX]

Hi friends.

I have been reading this document about batteries and the FAA allowances:
https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf

I am thinking of taking a trip and taking a milpack with me that uses 2 of the 2590 batteries. Each of these has about 225 Wh of energy in them. It seems to me that my reading of the above document says I am limited to 160 Wh per battery (I found the second page more easily read than the first page).

Can anyone confirm what can be done about bringing 2590's on a plane? Has anyone attempted to acquire some kind of permission to do it, if in fact, they are not allowed?

Any input appreciated.
Eugene
PS I wont be coming to near-fest this time either. Too busy :(
