That battery has a lower 7.2Ah capacity and smaller F1 terminals so technically not RBC17-compatible despite saying so (one reviewer used pliers to compensate for the loose connection). Mighty Max does have a 9Ah battery with F2 terminals for $23.55, curiously shipped and SOLD by Amazon [amazon.com] which may or may not be a good thing: for SLA battery with a limited storage/shelf life, some may prefer the seller ship fresh stock directly from their own warehouse (as with your 7.2Ah listing).
OP's listing is good when your friend needs a battery, since you don't want to be blamed for getting an off-brand if it doesn't work. For myself, I usually buy at least 2, and I can get (2) 9Ah for around $40 shipped from battery specialists like BatterySharks.com. Those popular CyberPower 1350VA/1500VA UPS towers each take two 7Ah/8Ah/9Ah F2 batteries (model RB1270/RB1280/RB1290) if you reuse the old wiring harness.
Also, I ensure that the UPSes that I buy can take the larger 7-9Ah battery size (as smaller sized batteries aren't much cheaper). Those used to be commonly $40 and under back in the Staples coupon days but for the last few years the cheaper models come with physically smaller 5.5-6Ah batteries.

I understand that this is not for everybody...but if you are a little handy, you can replace this Lead Acid battery with a DIY LI-Ion battery made with 18650's.
You get the same benefits here as you do elsewhere with this change.
They really do need to start offering Lithium options for the consumer grade. If I remember correctly they do have some Lithium powered UPS options for servers, but I agree I would love a smaller more powerful unit designed with Lithium in mind.

I replaced my fiber router's UPS with a generic SLA from amazon, it died in 2 years, and that seems to be the norm according to reviews.
