  If you’re this confused you shouldn’t be trying to change battery types in a device that can power appliances.

  Ah gotcha, that’s the regulated 12V output with USB PD mode, and not the voltage of the battery inside.

    Ohhh okay, sad… Is there a way to get these 12v to use it instead of the stock lead batteries?

      Not easily or cheaply, because of the voltage mismatch. Using a buck / boost converter setup tuned specifically for the UPS might work but would be pricey and probably not that reliable.
