[Nut-upsdev] [PATCH] upscode2: Report ABM Status

[thomas schorpp]

Hi,

I want the driver report the battery status from ABM charging controllers -patch attached- :

battery.capacity.nominal: 17.00
battery.charge: 74.4
battery.runtime: 1620
battery.status.abm: RS (New)
battery.voltage: 26.10*
battery.voltage.maximum: 28.20
battery.voltage.minimum: 20.00
battery.voltage.nominal: 24.00

Since my ancient Compaq T1000h got it, response STBM should be widely implemented:

BTW, possible bug: Wether my new lead AGM batteries are broken (Cold weather storage damage in GLS logistics transport?)

*or the charge estimation calculator of the driver is broken:

battery.capacity.nominal: 17.00
battery.charge: 93.9
battery.runtime: 1620
battery.status.abm: FT
battery.voltage: 27.70
battery.voltage.maximum: 28.20
battery.voltage.minimum: 20.00
battery.voltage.nominal: 24.00
device.mfr: Compaq
device.model: UPS 1000 VA FW -0026
device.serial: E00230050

My UPS does not support UPBS cmd, but its responses are not very useful anyway.
