Possibility of using car battery on an APC Battery Backup system?

I have a bunch of APC Smart UPS 1500 Battery Backups and I was wondering how dumb of an idea it would be to wire it up to a car battery?

I was going to make a special adapter for the plugs so that everything fit slick and "looked proper" (as in, nothing exposed).

I have a degree in electrical, and maybe I should know better, but I'm wondering why i would spend $150 for batteries for these things when I can spend 50 bucks on a higher capacity battery?

Cosmetics are of no concern. Fire or explosions would be of concern. Start Free Trial
