Hi David
As per the link

Not sure if David is on the list, but we can probably help.
& the final testing paragraph.
I have set up a Lantech UPS similiar to your write up for your
Powersure Proactive and Powersure Personal UPS's
On LOW BATT
it shuts down OK.
Do you get the "OB" ("on battery") status before "LB" ("low battery")?
BUT as with other many UPS's during the
wait period from low batt to start of shutdown ... IE
In NUT, there is no wait period - when upsd sees the LB status from
the driver, it starts the shutdown sequence.
The idea is that if an UPS says "low battery" (versus just "on
battery") then it only has a few minutes left.
The other potential problem with allowing a return from the low
battery state is that if the power returns for only a minute or two,
and the UPS starts up, there will not be enough battery power to
detect whether or not the computer should keep starting up or not.
