Suggest you contact the air line ... they will have the final say. Oh ... if they say Yes - get it in writing .. or at lest the name of the person .. so if checkin queries it you have some contact.
See
http://www.iata.org/nr/contentconnec...nglish2005.pdf
for a list .. but not comprehensive
You may find a lot more here .. but it is a big pdf.
http://www.iata.org/nr/rdonlyres/386...reso_804en.pdf
Page 29 (of 180) refers to dangerous goods
You may get away with
Wheelchairs or other battery-powered mobility devices non-spillable batteries, (see Packing Instruction 806 and Special Provision A67), as checked baggage only, provided that the battery is disconnected, the battery terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short circuits and the battery is securely attached to the wheel chair or mobility device.

Humm the last part .. well it is not attached so errr No.

Thanks for the reply.
One year ago, American Airline at JKF refused to ship a tire that was packed in the origional brown shipping box. Their policy is no shipping of auto parts. When I repacked it a suitcase and did not tell them, it passed thru no problem.
I know tht if I ask if it is possible to ship the battery they will say no. I'm just wondering if anyone has passed without problems before.

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
