Why are UPS so heavy?

I am an electronics engineer and I recently bought a new UPS for my computer. So, I was wondering why are these UPS so heavy? Is the reason the battery?

    They have large batteries in them. About the size of a motorcycle battery.

    You can see the batteries in this video...

    Another important item that makes the UPS heavy is a step down transformer. There are transformer-less UPSs also available. However all the simple ones usually have.
