Are you looking to post them as part of equipment or as standalone items?

Your best off looking for a postal service that permits them to be sent as standalone items.

Have a look at DPD HERE

You can convert grams to kg.

If you meant its not worthwhile to be sending something in grams via parcel, which costs a lot. Your damn right, but Royal Mail will seize your post if they get a sniff of batteries.

I was talking about sniffer dogs not batteries. Anyway, whatever their tactic, they do manage to seize packages, and you yourself have been affected by this. Just be wary is all im saying.
