I have searched the kb and found some decent answers. https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/66899-apc-ups-snmp-battery-replace-sensor#reply-219779 was close to my answer. My supervisor would like proactive warnings on battery replacement date. APC does provide the battery replacement through a ASN integer once the battery require replacement.
If I put the proper OID in I am able to get a replacement date out of the SNMP. Is it possible to setup a warning and alarm by date in the mm/dd/yyyy format? I am assuming this is not possible but thought I would check anyways.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the post in our KB!
PRTG cannot display strings into a channel. Therefore, you would need to use the integer value which also indicates that the date format is not possible to use.
