As others have said, dealing with batteries is a pain, and they fail
frequently.  I've also been frustrated to find that when a battery
fails, sometimes this causes the UPS to shut down power to the connected
equipment.  If I wanted the equipment to be powered down randomly, I
wouldn't have attached it to a UPS in the first place!
