I apologize for missing the pior thread about this (I was behind on some
list mail).
Anyway, if people are interested: the price online was $12/battery, and
$19/battery at Halted by Lawrence and Central.
I ended up buying mine at Halted since I wanted the bring the ups back
up ASAP, and they had a decent number of new batteries (10 to 20 IIRC)
in that size, plus some other sizes
