Rep Power: 24 | Depending on the model of the UPS, I've got standard Yusara batteries that go in alarms, and had them from RS and other places that sell those little sealed batteries. |

Rep Power: 13 | You need to ensure that you choose batteries designed to be trickle charged for ever, and then deep discharge over a relatively short period without dying. Alarm batteries are designed to hold the system working for a long-ish period, and t retain the ability to ring if needed. Not really the same thing. Another vote for MDS from me. |

Rep Power: 10 | APC make the UPS's CSB Make the batteries that go in the UPS's. If you buy an APC battery you will get a CSB battery but with a return and disposal label to ship the old ones back FOC. Buy a non APC and you will probably need to arrange you own disposal. Thus, cost of cheaper battery + cost of disposal (Eg. Trip to Local Dump) = APC Price. There's very little in it. |
