copy/paste error: you probably meant 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.5.16.0

Also consider the historical side, back a few years ago, with part of MGE
being sold to (or going with ; like myself) Eaton, while the other was
merged with APC...

That said, I've added and committed the above OID with the standard lowbatt
mapping (1 = LB, 2 = <not LB>)
Can you please test the trunk, r3318?

Note that I've not yet had time to consider your other (XML/HTTP) mail, but
it indeed seems like a bug...

cheers,
Arnaud
