Great!

That array is mostly deprecated. It was a feeble attempt to provide
for some defaults, but in the real world it is mostly useless.

The way forward is to add "battvolts=x:y" to the compatibility list
for the models where we know those values work.

The UPSes are the same make and model? That's strange behaviour...

But I guess this could be another parameter...
