If you have a second battery I don't think it wouldn't matter which one you choose. Batteries aren't to big you can throw them in your bag and have the extra usage of any of the POC's.

Thank you, I know I will need to see my doctor and also get documentation for the airline. Iā€™m looking for a POC that will last for many hours for the trip. Then I can use it as well to go to to museums, movies, theater , parks and more in Manhattan where I live.
