Art,
Was wondering that as well. Lucky for me there is a Batteries Plus 2 miles from the house, then a Fry's electronics 5 miles away and thats without even contacting the two places that the other guys have mentioned yet.
APS makes and sells a replacement battery pack for $49 or so for the three APS units I have, so if nothing else for around $100 I can get two of these units running and well ahead of the new price. Just looked on the internet and there are several places selling refurbed UPS's for about $20-$30 over the price of simply buying batteries, so its worth looking around.
Thx,
Joe
