The Ausies might want to see how long those batteries last, man.

This is a good point. Lithium-ion batteries, or their Lithium-Polymer equivalents, have a shelf-life issue. They need to be totally reworked every 10 years or so, often less as noted at the link. It's a chemical thing, and not easily overcome. They literally stop working, because they cease being the batteries they once were. Since it's more or less a total redo every time, assume your battery backup is on a 10 year total replacement cycle when pricing it ... and that's a best-case situation.
