Farhan,
I wired two UPS to one battery, been working fine.
New wires are several times longer, used much heaver wire.
New wires equal the resistance of the original wires connecting the battery.
Also kept both wires next to each other (+,-) minimizing inductance.

You might be able to do something like that with relays.

AGS is a battery manufacture, they specialize in SLA type used in UPS.
Should work if connected correctly to APC UPS.
I connected a flooded Lead Acid battery and it worked.

If not then more information will be necessary to figure out why.
Battery voltage when connected,
How doe the newer ones work with it ect.
Many more.

Have fun,
Scott.
