I can't find a model number on it. Except for a previous battery change maybe 3 years ago, its been sitting there, with me generally ignoring it for at least 6 years now. HCL? Not a familiar acronym to me. Ah, the link. > http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html?manufacturer=Belkin&con >nection=USB Which explains it, now its up to me to remember.. :( Thanks Charles.
