Q&A was asked a direct question about allowing replacement batteries for COTS devices and they chose to answer by explaining that integral means "essential to completeness". You are picking and choosing what that means (Just like I am... see the problem YET?!?!)... and if you're an LRI then you are entitled but no one else is.
Well it seems the Q&A explicitly disagrees: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/284
