could this meter be used to measure UV emitted by artificial light sources?

Yes, but it measures only the UVB index. For example UVB index of terraristic lamp.

Can the battery be replaced or do I need to buy a whole new device?

This device uses a standard 9V battery which is easily replaceable by opening the tool free back panel.

Why has Amazon reduced availability for this item as it is an essential item for the health of reptiles. Without this the animal may suffer and die?

This is a one of a kind item that is in extremely high demand that often sells out frequently not only here on Amazon but also in reptile stores as well.

How good is this meter for detecting UVA rays which can penetrate Through the house window?

This meter will focus on the total sunburning energy from both UVA and UVB. Since the amount of sunburning UVA coming from a window will be close to index 0, you may prefer using our indoor UVA Solarmeter 4.2 instead. Instead of measuring sunburning UVA, this meter will measure the total UVA that comes through your window.
