That would be violating today's policy prohibiting loose batteries in the checked bags.

If it is too dangerous today to do this, why would they allow that in the future, i.e., what made it suddenly an acceptable risk? (arguing that it is safer than in the cabin doesn't mean the risk assessment leading to today's rule has changed)
The bottom line, though, is that no one knows. Lots of speculation in this thread. And while you might logically think/argue that a certain device doesn't fall under whatever ban that does not mean that the screener will agree. And good luck arguing...
