Hi
I prefer to use marine batteries. They are made in large
enough
volume to be inexpensive and the deep cycle ones are more
forgiving of being flattened occasionally.

Hey guys,

One of the reasons UPSs use sealed lead-acid batteries is
they are 
located indoors. If you want to use marine or tractor (or
regular car) 
batteries, they should be located in the proverbial
"well ventilated 
space". Lead-acid batteries give off hydrogen and
oxygen when charging, 
a volatile mixture that will linger in any enclosure. I use

batterywholesale.com for replacement SLA batteries where a
4-battery 
pack is $200.

For the manual, have you tried calling support at the
current [no pun] 
company? Sometimes real-time communication is best [again,
no pun].
