Most passenger airlines won't allow lithium batteries in checked luggage either, i.e. spare laptop batteries and the like must be carry-on.
Maybe they are worried that they could ignite and if unattended that would be bad. If your carry-on starts smoking they can at least hit it with the extinguisher (or spray it, whatever works).
A local retailer also noted that he can only get batteries by DHL as well.
