I read the rules, and they mentioned nothing about a limit on the # of lithium batteries... such as only one per electronic device, etc. Hence my question.

This is all it says regarding the "number" of batteries:

the FAA no longer allows large, palletized shipments of these batteries to be transported as cargo on passenger aircraft.
It does mention the following regarding individual batteries:

If original packaging is not available for spare batteries, effectively insulate battery terminals by isolating the batteries from contact with other batteries and metal. Do not permit a loose battery to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins, keys, or jewelry.

Place each battery in its own protective case, plastic bag, or package, or place tape across the battery's contacts to isolate terminals. Isolating terminals prevents short-circuiting.
