So do we have to hand carry the batts or can they be checked in?

This can be purchased from a variety of places:
Black Box
The good thing about this box is that when filled with your typical gear, it will weigh about 50 pounds. So you don't have to worry about filling dead space.
The drawback to these is that the wheels can be fragile. I have had boxes that break a wheel on the first trip while one I still use is from 2007 and has been on multiple trips with no failure. The good thing is that when the wheels break, they make great storage containers.

JiuHa, no, that's not the one. I've seen them, and they are too big and too heavy. Every oz of box is an oz less of stuff you can take. The black box everybody uses is quite light but strong for what it is.
WalMart has the same one Rick linked to, the box everybody uses, in the automotive dept. It's just the perfect size. The last one we bought was about $20.

This is the one I use, I just went to Denver with it last weekend and it was great, I would rather have the one Rick listed though. Carrying it by the handle was not so much fun.
