Subject: Light Batteries on Airplanes...
I am headed to Mexico in the next few months and wonder what the current
thinking is on transporting light batteries.  I've been down there
before and once I carried them in my carry on bag and got hassled by
security.  After talking to a supervisor I was allowed on with the
batts.  Another time down I put them in my checked bag and had no
problems.

I'm wondering though...  Some airplanes do NOT have pressurized cargo
holds.  I believe that the consequences of that on a battery would not
be pretty.  However, if I carry them on will I get hassled again?  Or
maybe this time they just won't let me on with them at all.

What is the BEST way to transport light batteries WITHOUT problems on a
flight to Mexico?

Thanks for any help.
