21 for the hazmat endorsement, nationwide, as per federal law.
No. Applicants for a hazmat endorsement are subject to a TSA background check. If you have a felony record, you won't pass the background check.

Depends on what the material inside the battery is. At surface level, it appears to be a quantity which requires the display of hazmat placards under CFR49... that requires a CDL with hazmat, regardless of the weight rating of the vehicle. J.J. Keller makes a hazmat hauler's guide which can be found at most truck stops... I'd strongly suggest you read through one before transporting these batteries. If you don't have access to one of these books, you can email me at the email address in my bio page, and I'll look it up in mine.

Yes. However, your chances of finding employment as a CDL driver with a felony conviction are slim, and you won't be eligible to receive a Hazmat endorsement.

It would depend greatly on your method of transport
