I was about to suggest a replacement battery too.  The problem is those
old APC units used weird batteries and the replacement cost of that
battery is ~$150.  It is cheaper to just get a more modern unit that
uses 2x $25 replacement batteries.  The difference between a USB unit
and a serial unit is significant.  The serial control is very limited
and a controlled automatic shutdown with an automatic reboot is
problematic.  I used to have a serial unit and unattended use was
problematic.
