We have a battery shop here in Hamilton (called Acme battery) that carries all shapes & sizes of batteries.  We have 4 or 5 UPSs for various things here at home.

When a battery decides to bite the bullet, we bring it to Acme Battery who recycles the old one for us and sells us a replacement for about ~$30.

May be worth seeing if you have a battery shop in your neck of the woods.
