Well, i'm not disagreeing with you but in this part of the world, I could get a basic APC UPS for under USD50 retail.
There might be some shipping cost involved in your above list? And not to mention there's no casing for it yet.
This can be crucial if there's kids/animals/uneducated person around that might possibly short the battery terminals!
There's also 2 years warranty on the UPS. (I've claimed a unit before and was replaced with a complete new unit)
What one can do is just to wire the regulators off the battery that's inside the UPS.
That way, the battery is always charge and if power goes out, the onboard inverter can power any devices requires mains voltage too.
Modify in any way you want!
Each person to their own ways and requirements!
Whichever way that suits one.
