Yes, the Apple Store changes batteries in store.

I went and got mine replaced and waited maybe a half hour or so. The cost with tax was around $84.00.

I went to the Store with a slightly dented and scratched 22 months old 5s and as they couldn't get the battery out, they just swapped the phone for the price of battery replacement of $80.
