Am I reading it wrong?

This is the device I'm considering purchasing (or something like it): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QUHB44/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A3H5DUG78CAIWF&psc=1
And your device states “Capacity 36000mAh/133.2Wh” (sic)

aa.com states

Lithium-ion battery acceptance by Watt-hour (Wh):

Less than 100 Wh – Unlimited quantity in carry-on bag
100 - 160 Wh – 2 spares in carry-on bag
160 - 300 Wh – Contact Special Assistance
