[Nut-upsdev] Question on weird output from a Compaq R3000

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Hi All,

   I put my Compaq R3000 UPS on NUT.

   Every once in a while the battery alarm light turns on, on the front 
of the UPS.  Maybe once every couple of days or so.  When that happens
I get the following output in /var/log/messages:

I just replaced the batteries in this UPS about 5 months ago.  Does the
fact that battery.charge equal 92.7 have anything to do with this?

Here's the status output:
