We have a number of CyberPower issues whose root cause is a disagreement as to how the HID descriptor (and therefore, the HID reports) should be parsed and interpreted.


That certainly sounds like something that could be contributing to the
problem here.

As of right now, my upswatch graph is showing 41%-42% load and 32-34
minutes estimated runtime.  The front panel agrees, stating 41% load and
33.2 minutes.  upsc is reporting ups.load: 41 and battery.runtime: 1920,
with battery.runtime.low: 592.  Battery charge is reported
battery.charge: 100 with battery.charge.low: 35.  All of these look
pretty much as expected.
