[Nut-upsuser] Strange LOWBATT and REPLBATT from BX950MI

[fRANz]

Hi all,
brand new APC Backup UPS 950 VA BX950MI here, controlled by nut 2.8.0
(Debian package version 2.8.0-7) on Debian 12.8
Current nut scenario and config:

UPSLOG command:
upslog -s bx950mi at localhost -f '%TIME @Y at m@d @H at M@S% %VAR battery.charge%
%VAR input.voltage% %VAR ups.load% [%VAR ups.status%] %VAR ups.temperature%
%VAR input.frequency% %VAR battery.runtime%' -l /var/log/nutupslog

tg.sh is a simple bash script in order to get NUT notifications on
Telegram; I still receiving a lot of LOWBATT and REPLBATT even if battery
seems charged as per upslog. For example:

Telegram notifications:
Sun Dec  1 05:39:51 AM CET 2024
Notify type: LOWBATT
Notify message: UPS bx950mi at localhost battery is low
Sun Dec  1 05:39:51 AM CET 2024
Notify type: REPLBATT
Notify message: UPS bx950mi at localhost battery needs to be replaced
...
Sun Dec  1 12:05:17 PM CET 2024
Notify type: LOWBATT
Notify message: UPS bx950mi at localhost battery is low

UPSLOG output during the same window:
20241201 053909 99 224.0 0 [OL CHRG] NA NA 3548
20241201 053939 99 224.0 0 [OL CHRG] NA NA 3548
20241201 054009 99 219.0 0 [OL CHRG] NA NA 3548
...
20241201 120509 100 221.0 0 [OL CHRG] NA NA 3584
20241201 120539 100 221.0 0 [ALARM OL] NA NA 3584
20241201 120609 100 221.0 0 [OL CHRG] NA NA 3584

It's unclear for me if these notifications are due to a bad NUT
configuration I applied (so please suggest needed tweaks) or it could be a
faulty UPS so I'll ask for a replacement.
Thanks for any help.
