I assume that neither the RS 1500 nor your Smart-UPS is expandable. In that case you would need to do some soldering to add more batteries to them. It won't be in the manuals, they don't want you to do this, they'd rather that you buy a big, shiny, expandable UPS. But if you're careful about battery voltages and polarities, and the UPS can handle the load of the attached machines you can add more batteries to it fairly easily.
