I wouldn't mix batteries, different batteries have different charging and equalizing requirements. I run a very large amount of stuff here directly from the 12 volt batteries including lights, fan, modem, TV, and radio. I only get about 30 watts from my solar panels and I have plenty enough power to run these items for a very long time.

Try using car parts directly off of the batteries and you will get longer use from the power you are making. I hope your UPS isn't running off of 24 volt batteries cause it's much harder to locate stuff that works off of that voltage cheaply
