UPS Battery for 996 bad idea?

Has anyone tried this out?

working in IT i recent took a APC 1400 UPS apart as its batteries had failed. Upon looking at the battery i noticed that

A:- it will almost fit into the battery case on a 1999 996 (only the height of it is slight taller the x and z are all smaller)

b:- lead battery sealed

c:- 12v 17ah

Would it be a bad thing to use something like this as a spare battery for the bike, as mine is having a hard time starting in this cold weather?

its a gp 12170

i guess it wasnt desinged for automotive damage (shaking and bouncing around)
