The sealed lead acid batteries that are in UPS systems are in there because they ship well and you can forget about them until the fail and you have to buy new, a regular flooded deep cycle battery should last longer, be cheaper to buy and as it gets older you can top off the water instead of buying a new battery, add a desulphater to it and it should last 20 years.
