Good to hear that!

As to the latter, time remaining is reported in seconds (not minutes), so if
the load is small, this doesn't sound unreasonable. See
'docs/new-names.txt'. With regard to the battery charge, there is probably
not much we can do about that. The driver will report what we read from the
UPS ad verbatim, so it's garbage in, garbage out. We would like to see the
output from 'upsc' anyway, so that we can add this to our collection of
reports.

Unplugging is usually not a good idea, since that will also disconnect the
ground connection. A switchable power strip is a better choice for tests
like this.

Best regards, Arjen
