Updates: I installed new batteries (Thanks Alex, Sean, Ron for the $ for those) so now all working UPSes have new or recent batteries. We have a total of 4600VA of UPS capacity; ~2500W usable.
Our servers run ~1300W so that gives us at least 5 minutes of backup time (tested tonight). I heard the "batteries are dying" constant beep from one or two UPSes early so those need to be recalibrated for their new batteries' longer runtime. After that and organizing the load I hope to have 7-10 minutes runtime for the servers; I believe we have ~30min runtime for the main wifi and internet connection necessities. Of concern is we're on a standard 1800W electrical circuit - if we get any more servers we'll need to ask an electrician to install more outlets at the panel (including a higher-amperage L5-30 if we get the Pulsar working). Also next summer we'll need to look at getting an openable window due to heat. Todo: testing/activating the Pulsar 3200 and configuring USB/serial monitoring.
