what do you all do when the battery in your battery back-up dies for good?

Conext and an Energizer that both died after a few years.
Do you find a local source for cheap replacement batteries.
It cost too much for shipping for mail-order.
I bought last week a APC complete replacement unit for $20.00 AR at
Staples.
Is that the only way you would go, buy complete on sale
Most mail order places want more then that when you add in shipping.

Radio Shack had batteries for my Belkin UPS.

Low prices on batteries more than offset the shipping fees. I paid
$15.00 for an Energizer replacement battery there that Eveready wanted
$49.99 for. YMMV depending on the battery model you need, but thankfully
UPS batteries are usually limited to less than a half dozen standard
models.
The only "local source" that used to carry them in store was Radio
Schlock. (You didn't say where you are located so it's kind of hard to
define "local"...) But sealed lead acid batteries are now a web order
only item. Last I looked they only carried one or two SLA batteries in
stores for alarm systems. And Radio Shack store prices were a lot more
expensive than mail order with shipping fees.

I would check with an alarm company.
Or check out Sears that sells sealed lead acid batteries for
wheelchairs.
OR watch out for specials for new UPSs...which will likely be cheaper
than buying a new battery.

There are a number of stores around my town that sell nothing but batteries of
many types. Could be worth check such places out.

True...but in my experience their pricing tends to be rather
expensive.
Again price a new USP with rebates before springing for a new
battery..sad but true.

Yes,
I am finding that new unit w/rebate = less then mailorder battery +s/h
