The serial number is shown in dmesg:
[ 7.337934] usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=051d, idProduct=0003
[ 7.337935] usb 6-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 7.337936] usb 6-2: Product: Smart-UPS C 1000 FW:UPS 10.0 / ID=1005
[ 7.337937] usb 6-2: Manufacturer: American Power Conversion
[ 7.337938] usb 6-2: SerialNumber: 3S1746X05384
or you can retrieve it with lsusb:
$ sudo lsusb -d 51d: -v | grep -2 iSerial
iManufacturer 1 American Power Conversion
iProduct 2 Smart-UPS C 1000 FW:UPS 10.0 / ID=1005
iSerial 3 3S1746X05384
bNumConfigurations 1
Configuration Descriptor:
(examples from Ubuntu; formatting may vary slightly. the "lsusb -d 51d:" flag
filters for APC's vendor ID.)
# ups.conf
[apc]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
serial = "3S1746X05384"
desc = "Basement"
