The first step is to measure the DC volts. I think some newer boosters may use a 5V IC instead of transistors, so a 6V SLA may be better for them.

It might be possible to use each amps internal supply to maintain the SLA battery.
If the voltage is high enough use a regulator set to 13.5V (or 6.7V) to charge it.
If not use a diode / capacitor voltage doubler to feed the regulator. There are also tiny DC/DC boost regulator modules on AE.

The amp DC current in the ones I have worked on has been from 30mA to 80mA.
