No problems, love is blind
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

A certain combination of letters that makes perfect sense in Dutch, but not so much in English (although it happens) was messing with my head.

Greetings & Kind Regards
My APC UPS BN900M needs to have its battery replaced. However removing the battery currently within is proving to be difficult as it refuses to budge more than a few millimeters as it seems to be swollen and so is squeezed within its' compartment. May I please solicit suggestions.
Thank You Kindly

Wish I could give you a good answer, buddy. But, hopefully an upvote will help get your post some traction.

I would stop trying.
Those batteries are usually lead/acid types, so a rupture could be a bad thing.
I would scrap the UPS and get a new one.

If it is swollen, don't mess with it. Either take it in to someone with the equipment (and experience) to handle leaking batteries, or junk and replace the entire unit.
Having the battery leak all over your hands will ruin your entire day!

As far as i know, Absorbed Glass Mat, lead acid batteries are sealed, but internally vented, and do not swell like LIPOs.
Is it possible ye missed a fastener, screw, clip, or slide-groove, or possible spot of glue securing the battery? Latex gloves and safety glasses are your friends. Not much to lose prying it out, after double checking for fasteners. There may be .pdf instructions on apc support site, google, or a youtube video. They are designed to be replaceable. Unless thrashed, seems wasteful to simply bin it.

When I was a student I owned a Citroen "car." One day when I wanted to change the plugs, it took me half a day and more engine parts on the floor than in still in the engine compartment before I could get at them!
Funnily enough, never had another Citroen!

do they still make those?
in all fairness, there were a few American vehicles that had spark plugs up against the firewall. Those designers, engineers, and managers are burning in hell changing those spark plugs. 
Don't get me started with Honda oil filters located on the backside of the engine, up against the firewall, and over the exhaust manifold. Whoever came up with that needs to be caned. Any Singapore's here?

Anyone ever heard about ups' losing their surge protection? I've been told the MOVs break down over time due to surges you never see. Eventually, they loose their ability to control surges.

Well, "it all depends" (management 5th amendment). MOV's are typically rated in joules (sp?). If that is exceeded, like by lightening, they are toast. Most stand alone surge protectors, like on my pool pump circuit, have LEDs that indicate status. I have not seen a UPS that has one. Not that I have seen that many. I would guess, but don't know, that if nothing in your place, that is not on the UPS, has blown it is probably OK.
OTOH, if your pacemaker is powered by the UPS, you might want to add an additional MOV
