I would look at sealed, totally sealed gell cells.

These are used a lot in aviation. They last about half as long as regular
lead/acid batteries.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.

Yea most of them don't. But that won't stop me from
hooking one up. I already have the car battery, just
got to find the time.

Another thing that can be done is to hook up a car battery to your ups
for longer running time. You could even hook up as many batteries as
you like.

I've never seen a UPS with a 12 volt hook up. I use APC's and even have
a 80# version w/ no hookup.

I was looking into a power failure relay, but haven't made much
progress. I think I'll just build my own as I've been thinking of a
battery bank anyway for other reasons.
