Opportunity driven hack: feedback requested.

APC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) Model BEC350R just started acting like battery not holding (alarm with no significant load added). Been hooked to my home desktop for a few years...

What if... I hook a 35 amp hour sealed wheelchair 12 volt battery I have in the garage to it for use as a 110 power supply while boondocking? Since these things are designed for electronics, do they have the pure sine wave that the expensive, small, quiet generators produce? The stock APC battery is 3 amp hour rated. Build a little box to hold and carry it as a unit, and I have a self contained, mobile AC unit with built in charger. By my math I could charge a little over a zillion phones - ha!
