That's my catch.  I returned my old battery years ago when I couldn't afford
the replacement, but didn't know that the connector was an optional item on
most replacement batteries (well, at least non-APC replacements).

Action Battery here in town said that they'd throw in a connector and fuse
when I bought it from them - I'll foot the extra $$ to support a local
company since time isn't that important.

But I'll mention Gruber Power to my IT guys - they order replacement RBC7's
from what has to be one of the most expensive sites on the Internet!
