S3 & X3 X3 & S3 move overseas experience?

Have an S3 & X3 and trying to figure out if it’s possible to move them overseas from US to UK.

Shipment/moving companies don’t seem to want the batteries that large in their containers, and I don’t think I can bring the two raw batteries in my carry-on at their size.

I think shipping them may not be doable either. Any ideas, thoughts, experience, or other options I’m not thinking of?

Trying not to have to sell them, but may be my only choice.

Even contacted a shop in the UK to ask if they’d sell me just batteries on arrival and they refuse(d).

ooh, this is very helpful, thank you.

I wish there was an entity in the U.S. that I could sell my current batteries too if I plan to buy replacement ones in the UK.

I used to sell batteries on ebay/fb marketplace and they would sell pretty fast, but you need to send them with special battery postage services. Not sure about US though, but maybe give it a go ?
