Firstly, the rules vary from airline to airline.

Here are the guidelines for the transport of Lithium. It's not the capacity directly, it's the amount of Lithium within the cells and the total of the battery. (Which you can work out from the capacity)

From what I gather this isn't restriction on the size, just a different process for the paperwork.

Tried to get the info from the IATA - but this will cost $250

It's all here: - http://www.moltechpower.co.uk/pdfs/T...ies%20TM01.pdf

This is even better - based on both IATA and ICAO - it's a presentation and a lot easier to understand.
