Wont that kill the battery quickly

That kind of use case plus environmental conditions (I imagine this isn't in a temp/humidity controlled environment, right?) would kill off most off the shelf UPS's, no question. How long they would last is hard to say but I would guess not nearly as long as they are meant to :)

Marine battery + inverter as zer0spunk says would work - I used something similar in the military back in the day - but these days solar passthrough is probably your better option, assuming you can get it there - speaking of which how are you planning on doing that? My experience with West Africa (and Southeast Asia, etc.) is that getting the parts you need in country is often a bigger challenge than figuring out which parts to get. Best bet is usually to fly them in as personal baggage and lug them the rest of the way. Unless you are with an NGO that already has a solid shipping plan in place?
