Depends entirely on your UPS model, I've changed the batteries in our APC 1500 and they are very heavy for their size. I'm pretty sure we disposed off our old batteries in our own battery recycling bin, being a commercial workshop we get through a few truck batteries.

I have changed the batteries on my APC UPS many times, I find they only have a life of around 5 years or so in service.  Its a little awkward as the batteries are heavy but very straight forward.

Just a comment, avoid buying on price, the really cheap batteries don't last at all, some I bought lasted less than a year.

Impossible to say what models they are from your description, but my 1500 takes two of those batteries.

On APC's website, if you go to the technical specifications of a UPS, in the section Batteries & Runtime it has Battery Volt-Amp-Hour Capacity.

As a rough guide, they all are designed for a similar runtime, so the higher the number in the name of the model (which is the intended load), the larger the capacity and the longer runtime you will get if you are using a lower load.

How does one physically get into a UPS?

I promised a photo of the UPSs; I forgot to nag poor Janet sufficiently, with her camera phone.

Unless you are Antman, I doubt anyone can :P

On a more serious note I suspect YouTube will have a guide once you know the make and model.

The APC models I've changed batteries in, the answer is "very easily" - if you read the manual.
