OEM would be the battery manufacturer (Panasonic, Yuasa, Universal, etc) 
or the equipment manufacturer (APC, Eaton, etc).   resellers are not OEMs.

where is this 'lie' ?   are you saying APC doesn't test their rackmount 
UPS's in a rack?  I've never seen Panasonic say anything about racks or 
not, their spec sheets talk about temperature, age, voltage, charging etc.

lead prices have shot through the moon, as have transportation costs 
(and lead acid batteries are heavy buggers).   5 years ago I could get 
Panasonic 12V 20AH batteries for about $40 each, now they are around 
$100 each.
