In that case, create one at a time convenient for you. Make sure there  
is sufficient load connected and throw the circuit breaker on the  
input. If it keeps on running, the batteries are not the problem.

Unfortunately, neither of the above will tell anything about how well  
the unit will behave under load. Bad (high ohmic) connections of the  
battery terminals or a failure in the inverter circuit will only  
surface if the UPS must supply power. That's why one should never skip  
periodic battery tests. Ideally, these should be initiated by an  
operator, so that if the test fails there is someone at hand to fix  
the problem (or at least reboot the system).
