To make a long story short, this didn't fix the problem, in fact it got 
worse. The unit started beeping nonstop and would shut itself off and
then wait for a minute or so and turn itself back on only to start 
beeping again, and the unit doesn't keep running if the power is pulled 
even though the charge meter is at 100% for the batteries.


I'm no expert but I think this means that the the unit is pretty well 
shot, and now I am stuck with two "Brand New" 12 volt 12 amp hour gel 
lead acid batteries. I am looking at a APC Smart-UPS 700
that I have the chance to get, but it needs batteries and after checking 
into it, I found out that this model needs 12 volt 7 amp hour gel lead 
acid batteries.

My question is this, would I be able to use the new batteries that I 
just bought for my now defunct APC Smart-UPS 1000 in the APC Smart-UPS 
700 that I'm looking at buying?

in summary the old unit I had uses 12 volt 12 amp hour batteries, and 
the replacement unit I am looking at uses 12 volt 7 amp hour batteries. 
They look to be approximately the same size and hook up the same way.

Thanks for any info that you guys can pass along.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Van
