oneac,

How old or under what conditions are these UPSs that have their batteries swell up so that you can't remove them? What brands? I have replaced many a UPS battery but have never seen this...wow!

The reason I said that "in many cases, it is easier to replace the entire unit rather than buy the replacement battery(ies) ($25ea.)" was due to the less time invested in locating the replacements (frequently out of stock) and changing the batteries (not complicated in APC, but it does take longer).
