Aren't the batteries usually close to the price of new units?

What does field replacement mean?
Thanks, I didn't know that, I always read on SD that batteries sometimes cost as much as a new unit.
So the short answer is that you can't repalce the battery yourself.

new unit would have been 129-150
battery was $57 for decent 9ah (stock is 7ah)
also the specs on this unit are crap
Line-interactive · 510 watts · 950 VA · 2 min battery (full load)
since when is 950va = 510watts? thats less than a .6 power factor. so you really need to consider this a 510w ups.and 2min at full load??
its not that hard to have 500w plugged in if you have networking equipment a gaming 27" monitor and a pc with decent graphics card.
IIRC mine idles at around 140, hits over 400 gaming

To save cost (in circuitry, and the double plastic walls and cover of battery compartment), plus to improve inverter efficiency (slightly), recent low cost models don't have line isolated batteries. You can get shocked if you inadvertently touch the battery terminal while replacing it. This is why these models no longer have a door for battery replacement. The battery inside is still connected with F1/F2 terminals and no different from field replaceable unit, and you can certainly unscrew the UPS to replace it, hopefully with the UPS unplugged from the wall and wait a minute or two to let the high voltage capacitor self discharge (as the battery next to high voltage internals, unlike isolated units with "safe" battery compartment).
In short, "non user replaceable battery" is more a liability clause.
UPS up to around 900VA output and up to $100 tend to use up to 9Ah lead acid batteries and generics start at around $20 each.

I did when a thunderstorm hits and we were without power over 10 hours a while back when my modem/router/wifi went down and I have to do everything on my phone.

EDIT: just got home and checked my old EC850VA... turns out i can replace the battery by opening it up... I can get a nice Interstate battery for under $28 delivered tomorrow from Amazon. I'll get it and use the UPS elsewhere. oh well...

can you clarify?

I think he's talking about the capacitor. Since most people have no idea what it is, and it can (non-intuitively) hold a charge when unplugged... Zap!
In practice, the "field replaceable" probably helps to sell more units, in addition to the legal protection.
