No problem.
After the shunt trip kills the power, machine rooms cannot be re-powered
without manual intervention.
We will wait with the turn on sequence while we store enough power.

However if I can I will consider real charge values from physical UPS drivers.

Yes, I know.
Related systems that do not tolerate random shutdown (they are quite few)
use a bit more complicated config, e.g. wrapper scripts around 'shutdown' etc.

The starting sequence is much more complicated. I have longer checklist
than a Jumbo Jet before takeoff. :-)
It tooks some half an hour while all of our host can be booted after
a power outage.
