Have you ever done a battery test on that unit? I think it's just
saying that there are no test results to report. I can change that
wording.

There are some "instant commands" defined for this UPS, including one
to start a battery test.

Yes, it should.

Note that "ups.debug.S" stays the same when on battery - this is
different from the OMNIVS series.

Interesting. I might be off by a character on parsing that field.

No problem. I'll be out all weekend, but maybe I can play with the
code again next week. Thanks again for the feedback.
