Hi Chris,
Well first of all I am glad you are alright.
Australia Post list Lithium Ion batteries on the Dangerous items list and
though they will accept them for mailing, they can't be carried by air.
See

IATA have a complex set of regulations governing them but a lot of it appears to
depend on the sender ensuring the quality of the items is high, properly declaring
them and taking additional precautions -

As gray market batteries, what chance they were ever tested according to the
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III, Section 38.3 -
