Hello! Your UPS model is the Alpha Pro RT series, specifically the APO 2000RT with a 2000VA/1800W rating. After roughly four years, it’s time to swap out the batteries. The instructions mention options of 4x9Ah or 6x7Ah. I mistakenly purchased 6x9Ah units. Are those safe to use instead of just 4? Also, since the original stock is 6x7Ah, I decided to go with 6x9Ah as I already have six of them. Thank you for your patience while I address this.

I've never encountered a UPS model that accommodates multiple battery voltages. Probably, if it can handle the voltage, it will function, but it seems more like "larger batteries won't fit."

The device operates at 12V. It seems there might have been an error in the UPS details.

they're 12V batteries connected in series, which raises the voltage to 48V or 72V. the exact configuration is shown in your screenshot.

My interpretation was that the UPS only accepts 12V batteries. The details I had were about a single 12V slot. My worry is whether using six 9Ah or seven 7Ah batteries would be safe, given the available slots. Since I purchased six 9Ah units, should I use all of them? The original stock came with six 7Ah batteries.

If they suit your needs, you can insert them. If not, it will still function as long as you don’t overload the charger—especially with a 55Ah battery, the capacity isn’t crucial.
