I think that's really the root of it. In a response on the iRex forum, they said that the battery is user accessible, but that they do not sell or supply replacement batteries. All "official" battery replacements would be handled as a warranty item.
However, like many other devices, I would assume that a user can "unofficially" replace their own. They just have to find a source for getting it.
