Right, this is the first way.
Also you can specify 'battvolts' variable in the command line (or
ups.conf). For details please refer to the megatec_usb man page.
Anyway please notify Carlos Rodrigues about the discovered values.

Well, this is in fact the problem of the driver (as described in the
"Known Problems" section of manual page). But it doesn't mean that NUT
doesn't work. You might only lack some functionality (if I remember
right) at first. I think, Carlos is the person to speak about it.
