Thanks for the update. We can add the ID to the driver, but I noticed a few 
inconsistencies (indicated below).

I'm assuming these are exposed via USB HID? If so, we need a debug log. Start 
the driver like so:

/path/to/usbhid-ups -a openups -x productid=d005 -u root -DDD 2>&1 |tee 
openups-d005.log

Please gzip the log before attaching it, and send to either this list, or 
nut-upsdev@

The current seems to be a units conversion issue, as most of the NUT drivers 
return amps.

Input and output voltage do not seem consistent with the battery voltage. What 
do the real values look like?
