What I can tell you is the battery your system has is dated around when the system was made so its most likely the original battery.

As the rule of travel has just been issued its too soon to tell what’s happing at the gate and each carrier (and in some cases airport) manage their own plain of inspection so what is OK for one may not be OK for the others.

'''So what to do??'''
I would leave the system at home given you are traveling so soon. As all MacBook Pro’s look alike the bagage checker won’t know which is OK and which are not!
So if you get to the line and they refuse to allow you to take your system what are you going to do? You can’t check it all they will do it throw it into a barrel and off it goes to the landfill or to one of the TSA recycle centers so you won’t know if someone else gets your system Yikes!
Don’t forget its not just leaving its also your return! Different airport, different staff.
Even if you have a friend wait until your plain takes off do you have someone at the other end able to do the same? And can you get it to them in time so you don’t miss your plane if they stop you? Then they will need to ship it by ground to meet up with you, which will likely take a good week.

I’m sure the EU will follow the FAA rules they tend too.
