I just wanted to comment that depending on how many people depend on
the development machine to get their job done the more easy it is to
justify a battery.

If 20 people rely on a machine to do their job, just multiply their
hourly cost to the company times your restore time for a figure that
will be several times higher than the cost of the battery.
