[Nut-upsuser] mustek powermust 1060 - upsmon wodoo and crappy messages

[linux at vfemail.net]

Dear all,

I have installed nut-2.6.1 (compiled from source) on CentOS release  
4.9 (Final).

[root at mail bin]# ./upsdrvctl -u root start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.5
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.03 (2.6.1)
Supported UPS detected with mustek protocol
Vendor information unavailable
Battery runtime will not be calculated (runtimecal not set)
[root at mail bin]#

First question:

If battery runtime info is NOT AVAILABLE, how will be possible for  
upsmon to do a clean shutdown of the system before running out all  
energy from batteries?

Second question, and very important:
Why after starting upsmon, I am receiving al all consoles from few  
seconds to few seconds, the following crappy message (snip from memory):

Broadcat mesage, Lost connection with ups mustek1060 ...
after few seconds
Connection with ups mustek1060 established

And in system log appear:

Any ideas how to fix it and what is causing these problems?

Below, it comes upsd and upsmon messages when it has been started up:
