"2022 iMac 24 will not power up: Unit was playing and shut down would not restart will a power surge cause this issue?"

Troubleshoot the Mac's Power:

As for replacing that battery, that may not be necessary. So, try troubleshooting it.

A. Black Mac Screen:

Go Here: If your Mac doesn't Turn On or Start Up - Apple Support

Using External Devices: Try Resetting the SMC and NVRAM, but this time, using an external keyboard. Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output. This applies to Intel-Based Macs only.

B. Mac Power Issues:

Try a New Charger:

If it is currently charging from a charger, then use a new charger:

• Power & Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple - Select "Mac Compatibility" on the left
• Find the right power adapter and cable for your Mac notebook - Apple Support

C. A Few Links to Refer to Power:

• How to Turn your Mac On or Off - Apple Support

• About Mac Notebook Batteries - Apple Support

• Charge the MacBook Pro Battery - Apple Support

• If your Mac Battery won't Charge - Apple Support

A power surge can cause that, but any number of other hardware failures can cause it also. "Would not restart" ... does that mean the power button produces no response, no sound, nothing? Or does it start and power on but not boot up?

If there is no power at all, try a different outlet, and even a different power cord if you can. If the computer is still totally blank and silent, it is likely a power supply failure. I would expect that a 2022 iMac is still under warranty, so contact Apple either way, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
