Question is, and I'm too lazy to take mine apart, are the
batteries in most UPS 12 volt batteries?  I've tried to find
out several times on sites which sell UPS's and batteries, but
I've never actually found that spec.  I've considered doing
just that quite often.  Gonna buy a second UPS soon - then
would be a good time to look inside.
