[Nut-upsdev] Best Ferrups reporting uptime in minutes, not seconds

[Chris Adams]

I had a power hiccup yesterday and a server connected to a Best Ferrups
18KVA shutdown.  The problem is that the UPS is reporting remaining
runtime in minutes but nut treats it as seconds (so nut thought it only
had 46 seconds left).

Simple patch:

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
