What are typical prices for them?  I think this might be very
helpful at my local ISP.  Can the UPS case simply be removed and
the battery attached in parallel (e.g. terminals on boat battery
to matching terminals on UPS battery)?  It'd be even neater if
terminals could be attached to the outside of the UPS so that
the case need not be removed.
