Is the prohibition also on "brown" shipments, aka ground?

I really don't understand what you people are all on about. Per USPS
348.22 (b), "Batteries. Mailable batteries include:
Common household dry-cell batteries such as sizes AA, AAA, C, D, etc.
are generally not regulated as hazardous materials and are therefore
mailable. Packaging requirements in DMM 601.1?8 apply.".

Generally speaking a power tool battery is made up of a group of "common
household dry-cell batteries" and so would come under this
classification.

They aren't 'common'. They use different chemistry that can easily
start fires. You don't find a 24 pack of power tool batteries for under
$10.
