I'm confused a bit. You swapped the words, don't you? The discharge current is always(!) reported. By definition * charging (in OL state): energy stored in the battery is increasing. * discharging (in OB state): the load consumes stored energy. > use it (the 'ivtscd' driver for instance) will report a negative value in that > case. I just asked because KNutClient displays a meter with scale -15..+10 Amps however (absolute value of) charging current is tipically lower than discharging. http://www.knut.noveradsl.cz/knutclient/images/knutclient1-en.png I thought it is better to clarify this. :-) Regards Gabor _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
