The deep cycle batteries and an inverter are a good idea. I like the APC units much better than the Tripplites; they have better power supplies.
I have replaced a dead internal gel cell with an external deep cycle battery. The only down side is the trickle circuitry is sized for a 7 ah or so battery and NOT a 60 ah. I have actually been contemplating running both a solar panel and a wind generator combination to power the equipment at the noc. The marketing mileage I would get out of that, in this day of "green" awareness would be tremendous. The marketing would be that the entire network is powered with green energy, and you could tout that in advertising and your literature.

No idea if it auto exercises; I'll find out soon enough. What's your actual load? For most of my tower sites, deep cycle batteries and tripplite APS are my solution.
