I have two Smart UPs 2200
currently they support one server each and I dont have any UPS software installed at all
for shutdown or monitoring software or connection cables as they came "second hand"

If i was to get two new UPS say SmartUPS 1500VA USB

Would I be able to use and control these Older but larger UPS 2200 as additional battery storage
for the new ones by connecting them together somehow??

thanks

No, the Smart-UPS systems cannot be paralleled or daisy-chained for additional capacity or runtime. The only way to get additional runtime is on a Smart-UPS "XL" unit using actual external battery packs.
