If you're buying retail look at the larger models that have external
battery terminals. Not that you can't replace AGM bettries with
flooded batteries so long as you house the batteries correctly

Digitech MP5205 that has a VRLA (SLA) 7Ah 12 V battery for the UPS side
of things. I see some models of APC UPS have the same battery and, I

are fairly ubiquitous. Obviously they come in different sizes but most I
have used seem to have a 7 or 9 Ah VRLA battery. Because they are valve
regulated they can be safely used in a home/office environment.
