In retrospect, the value may be actually correct. This parameter tells
you the actual amount of charge the battery can hold in relation to the
design capacity. If this is indeed a new (battery) system, the first can
be *higher* than the latter, depending on the rate of discharge that was
used in measuring the actual capacity.

This here is actually the only surprise I see. This looks way too high
for a 12V battery and too low for a 24V battery (it could be a 3 x 6V
battery system, but I have never seen such a configuration). Can you
measure the battery voltage?

I still believe it would be better to create a separate subdriver for
CyberPower, if only for the reason that it is easier to maintain if each
VendorID has it's own subdriver.
