I always go to APC's website to get the part number of the replacement battery, then e-mail my rep at GovConnection with that number so he can send me a quote. But we don't use the ES product line.
What's the actual product number of your units (BE500, BE500C, etc.)? Is it BE550R? APC's website shows no replacement battery for that model, but it does have replacements for some of the 500v ES line (for example, the BE500 uses RBC46).

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????????
