Uh, no. A decent UPS is $300-500, and replacement batteries can be had for under $100, and if you keep the unit cool and clean, batteries should last 3 to 5 years.
Also, if your UPS has 12V 7Ah batteries, you can sometimes find 12V 9Ah batteries in exactly the same form – so you get slightly longer run times after you replace the batteries the first time.
