Don't buy APC batteries unless you have really deep Romney style pockets. I
got the same batteries as in a donated from work Smart 1400 UPS for $35 at
my local battery company. $200 from APC. Ouch. Common in fire alarm systems
etc. Connections required a different size crimp but easy. Hardest part was
getting the double sided taped down old ones out. All that heat and time
really stuck them. But still use it today.
