Taking Roomba on International flight tomorrow. worried.

I bought my wife an iRobot Roomba 675 which she's always been wanting, and I finally found a good enough deal to get it.
Tomorrow i plan to take it from PHX to Kyiv, Ukraine via EWR and LHR on American and British airlines.

The roomba has a 3000 mAh lithium battery in it. I don't believe it exceeds any limits on lithium ion battery products, but I want to make sure that I don;t get my bags confiscated either. Anyone have any suggestions?
I can remove the battery from the roomba, pack it separately, take it in my carry on, etc etc.... If worst comes to worst, i'd rather just sacrifice the battery and buy a replacement ratheer than deal with a TSA headache.

Does anyone here have any experiences similar?
