Ok, I've switch to the mge-shut driver.

That's strange; I have 2 Evolution a 1100 and a 1500.
The 1100 is ok.
The 1500 is beeping for every weekly test since I've installed nut one 
month ago. I now only use the 1100 until I've solved the problem.

But since the last test yesterday, the Evolution 1500 does not stop 
beeping and the shut driver report the following status: OL CHRG RB
Does it means I have to change my battery? This UPS is less than 1 year 
old :-(

Note that diffrent versions also report differnt status with the 
mge-shut driver. Which one should I better use?

2.0.1: OL CHRG RB
output.voltage: 0
ups.status: OL CHRG RB

2.0.2:
output.voltage: 0
ups.status: OL CHRG RB OFF
