Would a 12 V deep cycle- Optima work in a APC-UPS 1400R I keep my servers
and dyno on with it along with some routers and switches. I don't know the
output, the battery fails and I now have it frightfully bypassed. The
batteries died and are almost 2 bills to replace. voltages ? issues? but I
have a few Optima batteries from wrecked race cars that would be perfect!

Any input would be appreciated,

Unlikely, but while the replacement batteries may be, as you say 2
bills, from APC, if you take the old ones to a proper wholesale battery
distributor they will in all probability be able to sell you proper
replacements for about $20-$25 ea.
