It is true that a given battery will have "special" requirements for optimal charging. Also, where the battery is in a circuit and the specific demands of use can influence how and/or how quickly it "wants to be charged", not to mention different batteries sound different, one from another, if only for similar reasons. Of course, there are many contributors that shape a battery's characteristics, not just SLA vs., Li, etc., including how the thing is constructed, or construction vs. application. Another thing to consider is that electrical components only "come to realization" when they are charged and functioning within their designated limits, and I don't know of any batteries that included listening in their development, although some capacitors claim this, whether or not I like they way they sound as I have used them. I have thought for some time that I would one day build my own sound-based UPS, with a big battery as a buffer. Naturally, I find other things to do instead. Meanwhile, I wish someone would assemble the "proper" UPS parts around a big battery, then I wish they would sell them without the battery, and I could buy and install the battery myself. I still reflect on how funny is it that we go from AC to a battery, back to AC, then back to DC. And I still think it's stupid to do this, but who knows of "acceptable" components that can be driven directly from DC. AFAIK, everything would require fairly major DIY mods to "bypass the native power supplies", which are pre-set to depend on AC, or they were designed by people with low sonic demands.
