Eh... an OK price, but I don;t think spectacular. Compare the prices:

batterysupplyco.com	- 12V ???Ah	- $65 +S/H for 2
www.zbattery.com	- 12V 12Ah	- $62 +S/H for 2 ($31/ea)
www.batterymart.com	- 12V 12Ah	- $56 +S/H for 2 ($28/ea)

Now this is where I go for UPS batteries frequently... Great service, fast 
shipping, and a large selection. - Gruber Power Services - You can order off 
their website (sort of, it's partially broken), but their primary non-phone 
sales outlet is their Ebay webstore. They are up in Phoenix, pretty close, 
but ship all over the US.

APC RBC6 (SU1000 replacement) - 12V 12Ah battery pack (2pc)
- $27.50 +$20 S/H = $47.50 total for 2

Now.... The particular battery pack for the BackUPS 650 is the RBC32 is 12V 
7Ah (note: Gruber often actually sends a higher capacity 8Ah in the same 
physical format)
- $18.80 +$13.50 S/H = $32.30 total for 2

Thats a deal... I have bought 12V 8Ah and 12V 12Ah by the case from them 
several times over the last several years.
