So it is different from "self-test automatically run when turned on, and every
two weeks thereafter, (by default). During the self-test, the UPS briefly
operates the connected equipment on battery." (cf. APC Smart-UPS User Manual
and practice) ?? Note that this effectively discharge the battery a little
bit.


For information, on two same UPSes (SUA3000RMI2U), I've these commands
available for tests (cf. upscmd -l) :

- apcsmart driver :

test.battery.start
test.battery.stop

- usbhid-ups driver : 

test.battery.start.deep
test.battery.start.quick
test.battery.stop
