I thought I would try to make sense of the ups.debug data.  All I have
really figured out is that the fourth hex segment for S is a 00 for
plugged in and a 01 for on-battery. Which the driver already knows.
The rest is a mystery to me.  But I played around with unplugging and
running the load down, and then recharging, etc.  Here are my notes
and observations.  NC = "no change".  I am assuming that those fields
are the make/model/serial number, etc.

S fourth segment = 00 for on-power, 01 for on-battery
