Gave ~5 mins. So I let it charge for 24 hrs now it gives me 36 mins. Which is
wierd; what happened to all that charge? I haven't had to use it for 6-7 mons.
Isn't the unit supposed to stay topped-up?
Another thing: When I do the remove-the-usb-cable test I don't see the
"communication lost" error in apcupsd.events until I switch the dial-up off and
on quickly!
In the conf file I have DEVICE: /dev/ttyS[0-3] because the default, /dev/ttyS0,
locks out the modem. But why does the UPS need to know about serial ports? It
connects by this funny RJ-45/USB cable. I wonder does the manufacturer assume
the serial port won't be used?
