What is the theory behind the seizure of the batteries?

Does this seizure happen as one departs a country, anywhere else in the world?</font>
I don't know the theory. Maybe to avoid the (admittedly remote) possibility of corrosion from a battery leak?

Another one is Croatia Airlines, who insist that all batteries be kept in carry-on luggage.
