Thanks!I can't provide any specific advice, because I don't live there. But given the amount of manufacturing that goes on in Mexico these days, there must be electronic parts suppliers. If you can figure out who the Mexican equivalent of Digi-Key is, you should be all set.
Let me finish the thread.I ended up ordering an APC RBC2 battery replacement from the only one from APC's Mexican support list that answered:http://www.mei-telecom.com/
It cost 460 MPesos = $42.13 + 15%tax + shipping. The 1st 2 I had to pay at a bank before they would ship.Biggest problem with the replacement process is the removal of the positive lead with the F2 clip that is protected by a plastic sleeve.
Never found a battery supplier in Oaxaca. Hugo
