So... 50% load +/- 10% :-)

(The use of the term "calibration" for an UPS is slightly unfortunate - it's 
certainly not a traceable metrology-style calibration. I would not be surprised 
if most of the passives were 5-10% tolerance, and not temperature compensated.)

I forgot that this landed after 2.7.4:

I forget, is your copy of NUT built from an RPM? If so, it shouldn't be too 
hard to add that patch to get load, charge, input voltage/frequency and output 
voltage (assuming the RM205 is a superset of the RM202).

You can also use snmpwalk to see what other values might be available. Since 
there is already a skeleton MIB mapping in NUT, the only two things needed are 
probably the snmpwalk outputs described at the end of this section:

Again, not my area of expertise, but as far as NUT is concerned, I think the 
different versions are for authentication methods (SNMPv1 is cleartext).
