Airlines seem to have a way of not knowing everything at times--I've been told that buttons weren't a good idea by one airline, but had absolutely no trouble at at least two TSA checkpoints. If you can find a non-traveling buddy, I'd try bringing the batteries to the airport with all the documentation you can muster. If TSA or the gate staff say no, just leave the batteries with said buddy. It's a shot.
