Genuine APC replacements will be a little expensive. APC uses 
standard size batteries, so you can get non-APC branded ones for much 
less.

I've found Sayal Electronics carries some of the sizes that APC uses, 
for quite a low price.

If you do an Internet search using the APC battery (pack) part 
number, you'll find plenty of places selling third party 
replacements. You can go to APC's web site to find the correct 
battery part number for your UPS.

Note that some of the battery sizes that APC uses are available with 
two different terminal sizes. If you buy replacements off the shelf, 
make sure the terminals match the originals (or come with adapters).
