Check the output of "upsrw <ups>" to see if that variable is supported with your combination of UPS and driver.

I retried 2.4 which has the new driver however its behaviour is different to 2.6.

It shows..
[dhcp-72114 8:07] ~ >upsc ups1 at localhost| grep battery
battery.capacity: 9.00
battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 100
battery.charge.restart: 100
battery.runtime: 3960
battery.type: PbAc

vs 2.6..
[dhcp-72114 8:05] ~/nut-2.6.4 >upsc ups1 at localhost| grep battery
battery.capacity: 9.00
battery.charge: 100
battery.charge.low: 50
battery.charge.restart: 0
battery.energysave: no
battery.protection: yes
battery.runtime: 3960
battery.type: PbAc
ups.start.battery: yes

So I'll stick with 2.6 I think and do some more tests.
