I did the same thing in FRA last week. 3 times through the same checkpoint but different screeners. All of them paused when they saw my bag, zoomed in, changed X-ray colors to try to ID my 2x T43 extended batteries. All of them asked to see it and one guesses was a battery but wanted to confirm.
In the US I've never had that happen before. I guess the Germans are focus on what look like bombs vs. tooth paste and shaving cream.
