It’s not an issue of an increased risk, but it’s an issue that a battery fire in a plane in the air can is extremely difficult to take care of and endangers the entire plane and it’s passengers.

Large excess batteries are often prohibited in checked luggage since a fire in the luggage hold would be impossible to reach by flight attendants
