What is this? Is this a notification that the battery is full, or that
the battery voltage is too high? At the very least, this should be a
little more descriptive. Yet I'm not quite sure if this is not similar
to RB (Replace Battery).

We already have CAL, which is essentially the same thing. Unless this is
totally different, I don't support adding this to the ups.status. For
the operation of upsmon, a battery test and runtime calibration are the
same thing - you'd risk a shorter than normal runtime when the mains is
out (if the battery is not fully charged).

For now, I don't support either of these two flags.
