Here's a link to Universal Battery's web site:
http://www.ubcbattery.com/aboutus.htm

Their WATS number is (800) 749-0222.

I purchased mine from Harris Battery in Bolivar, Ohio.  Their web site is at
http://www.harrisbattery.com/

Snail mail & phone:

Harris Battery Company, Inc.
10708 Industrial Pkwy NW
Bolivar, OH 44612
PH:  330-874-0205, 800-367-7670
Fax: 330-874-9936

They also have a number of other distributors around the Ohio, Michigan, PA
area.

Keep in mind, the UB1200 that I use is not necessarily the best choice.
It's only a 100 amp hour battery.  You might be able to do better elsewhere.
