This value looks like the single cell voltage for a lead acid battery. You
probably want to change the ID to

[sola]
	ID = 610,700,240,240,1.8,2.4
	driver = bestups
	port = /dev/cuaa1

This will lead to some weird values for 'battery.voltage.nominal', which
require a change in the driver. We'll need to list the number of cells
here (which is 12 for a 24V battery), so that we can convert these value
to the terminal voltage.

Are you able to build your own driver? If not, this probably has to wait
until the next stable version is released.
