Hello,
We do the same thing. Some with 1 battery and other with 4.
No more generators!! We had our fun with them a few years back.
Had 7 of them running our towers. Got great praise from our customers for
keep them network running for 4 days in ice, but killed us filling up gas
cans all the time. No site was down for more then 24, but we had sites
going down all over the place for 4 days.

I like the tripplite APS 700hf/750/1250 gear.
We've got sites with 2 big batteries that should be good for 24 hours
with these.
I put one at my house after going through 2 APC UPSs in 8 years.
We put them everywhere we need long run time, and add batteries for
places where it's impractical to take a generator.
I don't mind freely recommending them. My competition has already seen
how well they work at a mountaintop site where we are both located and
has since followed that route in the interest of long runtime.
