[Nut-upsuser] battery not installed, but battery still 100% and NUT 2.7.2-4 does not catch this and report a error

[Tim Dawson]

NUT can only report what the UPS tells it. IE, if no battery/load test is runs on the UPS, it has no way to know the battery croaked . . . it just sees normal voltage, and says "100% charge" . . . .
