This looks ok. It should work then.

After doing an "upsc yourups at localhost" check the "battery.charge" to
see if it looks ok. If it doesn't, I'll need some extra information to
fix it (that is just cosmetic though, it won't stop the driver from
working as it should).

Those messages are printed by the driver itself, so they differ from
driver to driver.
