I already wrote an experimental 'ivtscd' driver. The source is  
available in the SVN trunk. Please let us know if this works for you.  
If not, make sure to post the output of

     /path/to/ivtscd -DDD -a upsname

here so that we can fix remaining issues.

The driver allows you to override the build-in defaults for the power  
on and power off battery voltage by adding

     default.battery.voltage.low = 10.80
     default.battery.voltage.nom = 12.00

to 'ups.conf'. Note that I'm a little more conservative with the  
minimum battery voltage needed.

The driver also supports the 'reset.input.minmax' command to reset the  
minimum and maximum values reported by the controller.

Since you can't tell the controller to shutdown the load, the driver  
will hang around after

     upsdrvctl shutdown

waiting for the battery voltage to return to nominal or the power  
being cut by the controller. This should be OK, since by the time this  
should be run, all file systems are mounted read-only. Note that after  
the driver exits, you need to call reboot in order to resume to normal  
operation, in a similar fashion as documented in the section on power  
races in docs/shutdown.txt.
