You should have received a UPS with the system, AFAIK.

With the 9x8 series, HP dropped the internal batteries in favor of
an external UPS.  This was said to have been done because of the
increased power requirements of the newer systems.  OTOH, I suspect
it was to allow them to produce a cheaper machine for some sales
situations ... sort of like a car manufacturer saying "you can save
1% if you cut out the seatbelts".
