I have an RS1500 and several RS700G models.  I use apcupsd and the USB =
data cable that comes with them.  They work perfectly fine with FreeBSD. =
 You=E2=80=99ll most likely need/want a new battery. Look around for =
local shops that sell batteries -- they may be cheaper than what you =
find online and/or from APC directly.  The batteries are =E2=80=9Cstandard=
=E2=80=9D types and there are a couple of factories in the world that =
make them for everyone.
