To be honest, I've never seen a 36V UPS do that. All UPSes I've ever
used report their actual battery voltage, not the voltage per cell. As
a detection method the latter wouldn't make any sense, either, because
you cannot use the per-cell voltage to determine how many cells there
are in a battery...

But that's a percentage, right? It still leaves you with the problem
of NUT not being able to detect a 36V UPS. Or have I completely
misunderstood you?


Kind regards,
