Thanks, but no joy. I had no problem using apcupsd to reset the battery
change date... but that didn't do it. I've done numerous battery tests,
both from apctest, with apcupsd down, and by pushing the button.
*sigh*
We've ordered another set of batteries for one of these, this time the
exact same make and model that were in them, though still not the full OEM
cartridge, and we'll see if it does need HR (high rate) batteries. If so,
then what was advertised as a replacement kit is untrue.
