Out of the hundreds of laptops available today, I could only find two or three laptop models total with a replaceable battery.

Nearly every business class laptop has a replaceable battery, you just need a philips-head screwdriver for most.

Anything that is meant for consumers shouldn't be bought anyway, Dell Inspirons and HP Pavilions and shit are not made to last unfortunately. Nor are they made to be easily repairable. I'd go as far as recommend an 8 year old thinkpad over some brand new consumer models. It'll last longer.
