Well you are not supposed to replace them yourself, but if you again can obtain a replacement battery, you could replace it. I believe it requires a certain type of screwdriver, but really unless you just don't have an Apple service center near you, it isn't such a problem. You can easily access the battery since you can remove the bottom cover to replace the drive or ram yourself and the battery is right there. The reason as I stated that Apple didn't want people doing this is the way the battery is constructed.
