About a week ago my batteries in my UPS failed :-(. So I am now on the hunt for batteries. I am trying to avoid spending a huge amount. I fear the batteries will be cheap but the shipping will kill me. I need 4 Sealed Lead Acid batteries 12v 4-4.5Ah. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.
P.S. Does anybody know where I can drop-off/recycle my old batteries?
Thanks,

I've gotten batteries from http://gotbatteries.com/ and the cost and shipping was wonderful. The batteries I got cost 28 for 2 and the shipping was 9. That aint too bad considering the package was very heavy. I've paid twice as much to get items that were only 1/3 of the price. :P
Also, they were recommended to me by another satisfied customer who odered quite a bit of stuff from them.
I checked with Portable Power Systems. They wanted $56 for the batteries plus $10 for UPS Ground. I did stumble upon batteries.com, they wanted $40 w/15% coupon :-D and $6 for UPS Ground. Has anybody used Batteries.com?
Thanks,

Every time I have replaced UPS batteries the new batteries come with a mailing label to recycle the batteries back to the manufacturer.
kcole, where do you order your batteries from? The UPS manufacturer or the battery manufacturer? It turns out I need 5 12v 5Ah batteries. Portable Power Systems wants 80 bucks!!! :-o. Batteries.com doesn't sell them so I am fscked. Help!!!

I have had luck before finding them on buy.com. I would also look at the manufacturer’s website. They sometimes have deals on replacement batteries. Lastly just do a search for replacement batteries and the model number of your UPS.
