The above is the source of the problems. The first two attempts fail internally in the UPS (since it reports 'UPS No Ack', which is an indication that the USB controller in the UPS can't read the status). Unfortunately, on the third attempt, the USB connection times out which seems to be handled rather ungracefully. The best solution would probably to ignore the first couple of failures in the 'megatec.c' driver, before declaring data stale. Generally speaking, one should be careful to declare data stale and only do so after a couple of attempts to read the status (typically three in a row) have failed.
