I have two APC Back-UPS RS 700Gs. I believe they use gel cell
replaceable batteries. Both respond to apcupsd, and I believe APC has
clients for other operating systems. I've had excellent results with
APC for almost three decades.

Replacement batteries from APC are expensive compared to buying
elsewhere, but they come with return shipping for the exhausted battery
so they can recycle it.
