Re: APC Batteries.

I've never had a 750 in stock.
Though for the other VA ratings in the family, I've had both the old
models and new models and they had the same batteries.  I.E. the old
1400va has the same batteries as the newer 1500va.
The batteries for the old 700 and new 750 look the same to me from
the APC website.
Runtime is not due to the VA rating of a UPS.
