Nah!

The batteries are all the same mate ... the "APC" branded packs
that
came out of my UPS (which I have had sat on the floor for three years on
top of a network cable to stop it getting pulled and yanking my switch
off the shelf) were, when I peeled off the APC labels and parted the
packs out of curiosity, bog standard GP branded 12v 17Ah "slightly
bigger than motorcycle" batteries.

Nothing special at all.
