APC SUA24XLBP Smart-UPS XL 24V Battery Pack

I purchased several new Smart UPS 1500 UPSes over the past two years. I remembered that I could add batteries to SmartUPS from my old days in IT, so I thought these would be great and if needed, I could add an extra battery for added run-time. When I decided that I did need an extra battery for one of my new SmartUPS, I ordered one of these without doing sufficient due diligence on my new UPSes. When this arrived, I realized my new UPSes do not have a connector for the extra battery. The battery is useless to me and I can’t return it.It is totally my fault for not doing my due diligence, but these batteries should also have some sort of warning that they only work with older, discontinued models. They don’t work with the new models.

This battery pack boosts back up time substantially. The documentation that comes with the battery pack says that you should use the included 3.5" "floppy" disk to load a MS-DOS (pre-Windows) program to tell your XL series UPS that it has an additional battery pack attached. I had no computer with a floppy disk drive and have not used MS DOS since the 1980's. APC support directed me to a FTP Internet download version of the MS DOS program. What I discoverd on my own is that the Business Edition of the UPS Powerchute that comes with XL series UPS's has the ability to set the number of battery packs. Why hide the best method of configuring the battery pack and force customers to use an ancient process to do the same thing?

消耗品のバッテリがまともでびっくりしまｈした、前に別のとこから買ったのはバッテリ不良で、購入後すぐに新品バッテリを買右はめでした。今回も本体のみのつもりでしたが、2台ともまともでした。充電管理されていたのでしょう！
