Hi David, Are you certain you got the replacement battery connected with the correct polarity ?
Does "lsusb" show the UPS ? -- # lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub -- Sound like a hardware-physics thing given it was working before replacing the battery. Out of curiosity, what is the UPS model ?
