 The home/SOHO market is much more likely a "disposable appliance" where
UPS'es are concerned.
 They buy one.  When the ear peircing continuous scream of "battery
gone" eventually occurs, they trash it and buy another new one.
 A small subset that would be willing to swap the battery /might/ look
at the manufacturers cost for a replacement battery and then conclude
that it is cheaper to just trash it and buy the one on sale on Amazon
right now, because new battery for old unit is 110% the cost of the
sale item on Amazon.  So those become disposable appliances as well.

I buy new UPS batteries (brand is irrelevant) at a local shop.
