I understand your point, and It's certainly a valid one.

Get In contact with them, and simply ask whether It's okay to ship In the manner you've described.

"I haven't had time to check any other carriers with all of the hysteria happening, it's hard to find a chance to visit a carrier. In that time, the battery hasn't gotten worse but it's still very bad. Are you sure this is safe to ship?" Something like this?

Under the circumstances, this seems very appropriate.
