Batteries are your only issue. Check the airline's policy regarding Lithium Ion batteries in cabin and in luggage.

I take three, and we spread the rest around the crew in sets of two.
Unless they've changed the rules you can take two Red style battery bricks in carry on, as long as they are in sealed plastic bags, and an additional one if it is attached to the equipment.

MY tip: fly business class on a proper airline - not one of the discount operators.

Not a money saving tip though...

I just carried on 3 red batteries on an American Airlines flight to DC. No problem.
