Nut upsuser - Jan 2022 - Can NUT handle a laptop battery?

Just to clarify: I don't think there is a NUT driver that would consider a
computer's local battery as an UPS - probably no-one came around to write
one, and probably that would be very much OS-dependent (more than HW
dependent).

The laptop should be okay as a NUT client (for external NUT servers), as
well as a NUT server for traditional connections to serial/usb/snmp/...
UPSes with respective drivers.

The Pine64 ARM boards have a battery connector, not quite a laptop, but
AFAIK the board will charge and use the battery as fallback if lights
go out.
