Nut upsuser - Apr 2011 - blazer & megatec drivers

Hi,

I've being using nut 2.2.2 (Debian Lenny) via megatec_usb driver for 
IPPON Back UPS 600.
Then I upgraded to nut 2.4.3 (Debian Squeeze) with broken megatec_usb.
I moved to blazer_usb, it connected IPPON.

[myups]
     driver = blazer_usb
     port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
     desc = "Local UPS"
#from megatec.c: batteries[] = {{ 12.0,  9.0, 16.0,  9.7, 13.7,  0.0 },
     default.battery.voltage.high=13.70
     default.battery.voltage.low=9.70

But there are no "battlow=%" option available in blazer, so, I
can't
change "Low battery condition" to be a bit more safer...
I've seen battery.charge.low option in trunk, but it seems it must be 
implemented in driver, and it's not implemented in blazer.
Am I right ?

Offcourse, I can workaround this problem:
NOTIFYCMD /usr/local/sbin/check_lowbatt

/usr/local/sbin/check_lowbatt
uspc myups | grep battery.charge
res=$?
...

But it's an ugly hack...
Is there any better solution ?
I missed something ?

Checkout the 'runtimecal' option from 'man 8 blazer' to give a  
slightly better way to determine the state of charge on the UPS  
(provided it reports the load).

See 'man 8 clone' which will do just what you want. The development  
version allows you to override the build in low battery detection  
altogether and set your own levels.
