I don't know much about the Tripp Lite devices covered by the
usbhid-ups driver, but the usual debug suggestions apply. You can run
the driver with -DDD on the command line, and look for messages
related to battery charge.

Going out on a limb here, maybe it's something that we have to
explicitly poll (versus waiting for it to be reported on the interrupt
pipe), for the times when it is below 100%.

In any case, it's probably a good idea to first verify that knutclient
agrees with upsc.
