I've been very happy with Power Sonic batteries. I've purchased PS1290 batteries for the Elk from ecomelectronics via eBay. Same physical size as the 1280 batteries, but a bit higher capacity.
The low battery event should be displayed on the keypad and also be logged. This earlier thread describes how/when the logging occurs.
Ok. This is old thread but since I started it, wanted to finish it 
I finally got back to this once the panel started giving me battery trouble message. After a few more measurements, I ended up buying biggest batteries that each device could handle. The link to Powersonic site http://www.power-sonic.com/ps_psg_series.php that RAL posted earlier was really helpful in selecting right battery.
For M1g, a Powersonic PS-12180-F2, 18Ah
For P212s power supply, a Powersonic PS-12120-F2, 12Ah
I had to pick up F2 to F1 Terminal Adapters since the both devices have female F1 connectors. https://www.amazon.com/Sealed-Lead-Battery-Terminal-Adapter/dp/B07BQGX5T7/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1531220615&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=F2+to+F1+Terminal+Adapters+25pcs I bought a bigger bag (25 pcs) since I thought I may need in future; it was slightly more than a 4 pack.
Bought everything off Amazon for under $90.
I installed them and they fit nicely with some room to spare. Next, i need to test them to make sure the load is balanced to prevent P212 to fail first. Thanks to all who helped out.
