I believe the batteries must be carry on though per TSA regulation. I would consult their website to verify however.
You must carry on LiPos, but it is acceptable to check other kinds of batteries. This past weekend I carried-on an R/C plane (included a pound of NiMH cells in a self soldered pack), and expected a world of problems. It made it through without even a second glance. In the past we've carried on a 5 lb NiMH pack, but that did take some serious explaining to get through. YMMV...
