I don't think any company would say a battery is *user*-replaceable if accessing the battery requires a set of uncommon screwdrivers and levers to be purchased (just ask Apple with respect to the ipod and iphone).
I've replaced the internal battery on my wifes Palm pilot. I don't remember if it was the Palm Tungsten E2 or the Palm TX. Whichever one it was used a battery with a wire that you had to disconnect from the board. It was pretty simple though. Replacement batteries were easy to find on Ebay.

Sounds like the same sort of thing, except that the DR800 gives you a door to make getting to the battery a lot easier.
