I've seen two previous APCs (both Matrixes) fry batteries... The batteries balloon up, and get really hot, and are too big to extract from the chassis.
I've also personally witnessed an APC do this. I'm not a fan of APC. They sent us a replacement APC but I still prefer the rack mount Tripp Lites we used at the last company I worked for.
There was a recent recall of some of their home/SOHO UPSs -- battery overheating, with risk of fire. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb (me) http://www.wilyhacker.com (2nd edition of "Firewalls" book)
