Is it possible that battery.charge is really 30% rather than 3%?

The 3016 protocol models have issues with scaling on some of the voltages and frequencies. You can see this by killing the driver, and restarting it with '-DDD'. If you want to mail that log to the list, please gzip it first. Also, only about the first minute would be necessary.

Pretty sure the letters in the serial numbers are uppercase :-)

Given how many of the model names are reused for very different hardware, it can be helpful to see at least the first few digits of a serial number, but in this case, I don't think we have too many other reports of this hardware to go on. The closest ones seem to be: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Tripp_Lite/SMART2200RMXL2U.html

> If I understand the NUT process correctly, it looks for this LB status in order to create the POWERDOWNFLAG.  "In upsmon.conf, add a POWERDOWNFLAG directive with a filename. upsmon will create this file when the UPS needs to be powered off during a power failure when low battery is reached."

That is correct. You can also configure NUT drivers to ignore the UPS's LB flag and synthesize it from battery.charge or battery.runtime: http://networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html (search for 'ignorelb')
