Yes. The UPS' manufactured where I work use tons (literally) of Enersys batteries from the same family as the FRC legal models. We recommend that our customers replace them after 3 years. The charge and discharge rates our UPS' subject the batteries to are not as "abusive" (especially discharge) as in an FRC robot so I would expect less than 3 years of life when used in an FRC robot.
