Eeeer... I don't agree.
Tipically charge current and discharge current differ by
an order of magnitude. After 25 minutes of discharge
batteries are charged for 24 hours or so.

Full discharge time is battery.capacity / battery.current.
However full charge time is battery.capacity / battery.current.recharge.
These two are totally independent attributes of a UPS.

I repeat: this is a simulation. There is no real UPS behind the driver.
(It is like dummy-ups but reported values change automatically
by the time.)
Without specifying the charge rate there is no way to imitate
how fast the battery is filled with energy after utility power returned.

Ooops... sorry. :)
