Thanks for the responses.

Really? Absolutely nothing -- no attempts at all to recharge, not
even
flicker of the lights or a hum of the transformer? Dead as a

Yep ! Thats exactly what my APC750 did after being stored for six
months. New batteries and away it went.

In fact its just started to beep again after about three years.
I thought the power had failed, not realising that it does a battery
test every 14 or 15 days. Its an early warning of battery failure.
