As far as I can tell, the upscode2 driver does not use the battery voltage to 
determine when to shut down - it uses one of the UPS status bits from the STAT 
or STMF responses.

We have a few other drivers that calculate a cosmetic state-of-charge, and off 
the top of my head, the drivers have parameters to adjust for the variations in 
voltages sensed by the UPS. That's certainly a possible improvement for this 
driver, but I don't think it is going to fix the internal UPS determination of 
whether the battery is low.
