Hi Charles, The battery.mfr.date is actually the correct value I'm looking for. That is the exact date the battery was last replaced. And yes, it is the correct value displayed in apcupsd.
For the debug commands, is there a line break between "upsdrvctl stop" and "/usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a APC_BR1500GI -DDDDD 2>&1 | tee /tmp/APC_BR1500GI.debug.txt"? Well, I tried both ways and I come up with an "Ambiguous output redirect." error message. Thank you. Regards, Kevin Mychal M.

Is the ups.mfr.date value incorrect as well, or has the battery been changed at least once in 2016? battery.date: 2001/09/25 battery.mfr.date: 2016/05/11 ups.mfr.date: 2012/01/30 The next test involves stopping NUT, and briefly running the driver in debug mode. The commands will be something like this (run in a shell as root): upsdrvctl stop /usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a APC_BR1500GI -DDDDD 2>&1 | tee /tmp/APC_BR1500GI.debug.txt # let it run for ~20 seconds, then stop with Control-C upsdrvctl start and then please post the contents of /tmp/APC_BR1500GI.debug.txt (pastebin works, but if you do email it to the list, please use gzip first) If the debug log looks like it ended on its own (messages to the effect of not being able to find the device), you may need to wait longer after stopping the driver, or maybe unplug and re-plug the USB cable on the UPS.
