Good battery for the price, check what the ups ship charge will be.

Yes you also can buy a larger marine battery but it is not same type
at the one online. The sealed led acid (sla) batteries will not vent gas
unless they are abused or overcharged. Regular batteries will vent and
can spill acid.

Check your local hamfests, there always is a few hams selling the recent
pulls from the large UPS systems in our area. Most get pulled after third
year
of service. I have several yausa 12v 38ah batteries each went for $ 10.00
!

Just replaced 60 12v 7ah batteries out of our ups system at work,
ups guy more then happy to leave the batteries for me to give away.

For a battery of that spec. it looks like an excellent deal .....
except for possibly high added shipping charges for a 66 pound battery.
