For the batteries, look for a business in your area that sells new UPS batteries. If you have enough batteries to replace, they may give you a slight deal. Most UPS batteries only last through about two or three heavy blackouts.
To test, you could hook them up to a small appliance, such as a fan and see if they will run. If they immediately shut off, needs a new battery.

Dave,
Edit: Hook something up to the UPS as the computer would or open it up and put a load directly on each backup battery inside?
Sounds like a easy load test will work. Great thats easy to do in my shop.
Appreciate the help guys!
Joe
