The only thing is the voltage that is low. Better have the dev's looking at this, as it have to be a new setting in the driver. But the most important part is the ups.status. Check if it go from OL (On Line) to OB (On Battery) when you remove the main's. The best way of doing this is by a circuit breaker on the line. So the ground connection would stay uninterrupted. Then you have to make a real test. Best is to load it with some light-bulbs as it is going to shut off. Have the communication to the computer and load it with the bulbs until it signals LB (Low Battery). Now check if it shutting down properly. /Kjell _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
