Hello nut users!
I have an APC Back-UPS BGM1500 connected via a serial->usb cable, using
the usbhid-ups driver. Everything appears to work and automated
shutdowns occur as expected in response to the lowbatt signal, but
nut-driver is spamming the logs with this error message on every poll
interval:

"DISCHRG" is always present on the status line regardless of whether the
ups is actually connected to the wall or not, so this appears to be its
"normal" state and can't be taken at face value.
Is there any way I can get the usb driver to stop complaining about
this? Unfortunately I don't think setting 'onlinedischarge' in ups.conf
would produce the desired effect, but I'd like to stop the log spam.
Thanks
