That's great!
I downloaded the code from github, built it and here's what happened.

With AC ok:
root at lucy:/usr/local/ups/bin# ./nutdrv_atcl_usb -a ups -DDD  -u root
Network UPS Tools - 'ATCL FOR UPS' USB driver 0.01 (2.7.1.5)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.

Here I started it with AC unplugged and then plugged it back in, you can
see the change:

Then, I started upsd and tryed upsc:

With AC ok:
./upsc ups at localhost
device.mfr: ATCL FOR UPS
device.model: ATCL FOR UPS
device.type: ups
driver.name: nutdrv_atcl_usb

Unplugging:

Low battery beeping:
device.mfr: ATCL FOR UPS
device.model: ATCL FOR UPS
device.type: ups

ups.mfr: ATCL FOR UPS
ups.model: ATCL FOR UPS

ups.vendorid: 0001

When the battery runs out, the ups (and it's load) powers off and it reads:
device.mfr: ATCL FOR UPS
device.model: ATCL FOR UPS
device.type: ups
driver.name: nutdrv_atcl_usb
driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2

Very strange! It seems like the completly powered down and OK status
yeild the same reading. The reading didn't change after plugging back in
the AC.
