Whether it is bat or batt depends on context and what you mean. Bat is correct spelling for flying mammal, baseball bat, to bat in sports, and verb meaning to hit, as in bat the ball, and also slang like batty meaning crazy. Batt is correct spelling for batt as in batt insulation, which is fiberglass insulation in rolls or batts, also batt as in batting for quilts, and batt as short for battalion in military, and batt as in to batt down hatches. So bat is animal and sports equipment, batt is insulation and quilting material. Common confusion is batt vs bat insulation, correct is batt insulation, though many people say bat. In baseball, it is bat not batt. In cricket, it is bat. So if you mean animal or baseball, it is bat, if you mean insulation rolls, it is batt, with double t. So answer depends on context, bat for animal and sports, batt for insulation and quilting.
