Agreed, you can go to <http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/> or in particular
<http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm>
to find out what is and is not allowed carry-on or checked in the USA.

As others have suggested I would be careful about large batteries
(larger than a 'D' cell). Spillable lead-acid are not allowed except
for in wheelchairs for example.

Some airlines have additional information and resources, so you may
want to check their web sites as well.
