That is The directions in 4.2 of the manual... The first Bullet (or box as it showed up there) says ""Ship them inside their original box or carton packaging."" No clue if I'm making sense yet... fifteen things going on right now!!!!!!
OK, now I understand. I would say you can't just do the box for the crate; sorry, that's the rules. You'll need to follow the Q&A's direction on the cardboard box. Or, just bring the batteries with you (if you're driving to your event--flying with the batteries is not recommended).
