RBC4 != RBC6  :<
But, the 12V 12AH spec seems to agree.  Perhaps a
different form factor?

No.  Please read my original (and subsequent) posts.
This is a "BackUPS Pro 650".  The 12V 7AH batteries
are smaller (thinner) -- one of my UPS's uses 8 of
those.  The "BackUPS Pro 650"s battery is *wider*.
At least an *inch* wider.  (more volume == more
capacity)

Order from DigiKey.  I haven't checked their prices
recently.  Minimum order is $25 -- but that's easy
to hit.   *And*, if you *prepay*, the shipping is
on *their* dime (at least it was the last time I
ordered a case of batteries from them!).
