[QUOTE="JohnCL, post: 1043579, member: 84508"] Well, I think that Leopard had it, but I can't remember for sure. I am almost positive that it did. True on the USB ports. More are leaning that way as DB9 serials are becoming a thing of the past. If you do have an APC unit that has serial you can probably get a USB converter and use it on the iMac. If buying new always keep an eye out for models that offer USB for monitoring. The batteries can be purchased at local places like Batteries+ or something of the like. You will never see them at BestBuy or any other retailer like that. The best bet on an APC unit is to go to their website and put in your exact model and they will provide the kit with the new battery and a box and label to ship the old one back for recycling. I have uses the service many times and you are guaranteed to get the right battery. There are many choices, and one 700 can differ from another model of 700 and have a different battery so having your exact part number is critical. Nick, you are correct. 60 - 80 is not cheap for all and I apologize for assuming so. [/QUOTE]
