I've purchased UPS replacement batteries from places like Batteries Plus. http://www.batteriesplus.com/models/70-0/3832-UPS-Batteries/APC-(America n-Power-Conversion).aspx

Their battery, if one peels away the otherwise useless lable, says 12v 7.2 Ah. It's a wee bit under 6" long, 3.75: high, and 2.5" wide. Both spade terminals are at one end... Although the 550 ES is currently being sold, APC's web site, depending on its mood, says either no replacement battery is available or to use RBC-110. (Of coarse, they then claim RBC-110 does not exist!) CDW, who just sold us some more 550 ES units this week, claims there is no replacement battery. One more thing - a couple of years ago we bought some non-APC batteries, 17v, 8 Ah, and many in that shippment were dead on arrival. Before I become [more] profane, where does one get a battery to replace in those things????????
