Can I check-in my e-bike battery on commercial airlines?

I am converting a folding bike into a folding electric bike, like this:
http://nycewheels.com/dahon-mup8-bionx-electric-bike.html
I'm traveling internationally with my new bike in about a month, and have a lot of anxiety about TSA reaction to the Bionx battery pack, which can be taken off of the bike and packed separately. can I pack this battery in my check-in baggage? has anyone traveled with a bike battery like this? will I encounter trouble with airline security?
thank you,
carry
