Cool. So is the battery charger (pictured) just to get the battery charged up initially, and after that just use the UPS unit?

Yes, that's the plan.

First update: The 'aftermarket' battery does work with the UPS. However, when tripped, the MJ-1200 powerhead does not run well on the inverted DC power. Gonna try out some of the different pumps.
