I have one, has 2 12 volt deep cycle batteries in parallel purchased for cheap from the great Satan, Wal-Mart. Use a small 15 buck maintain charger for each.
Tip.. They have a 18 month no pro-rate warranty. Close to 18 months you could "accidentally" drop it a few times to knock the cells around then you get the bonus.. New battery. Not that I would condone such a thing. But I would. And possibly have.

I'm envisioning something like a solar setup, but instead of using solar panels to charge the batteries, you use an AC-powered battery charger. This would eliminate the AC to DC to AC to DC conversion that a typical UPS setup would introduce, making the efficiency far better and the run-times far longer. I'm thinking I would like to do this (I need to revamp our UPSes everywhere anyway) but am not sure of what pieces and parts I need or if this is a terrible idea that I should run away from.

We had been using Belkin consumer UPS' because of their physical dimensions, but we've been changing them out for APC 750 and 1500s with SNMP where ever we reasonably can.
