This is what I was referring to (from the belkin-hid log):

   1.325782     Report[buf]: (5 bytes) => 05 53 00 48 00
   1.325799     Path: UPS.PowerSummary.ConfigVoltage, Type: Feature, ReportID: 
0x05, Offset: 16, Size: 16, Value: 0
   1.325814     ConfigVoltage = 0 -> assuming correction factor = 1e+08

You may need to bump the debug level to 5 to see the full exponent processing 
(cf get_unit_expo() in libhid.c). Please gzip the log - it will be big.

I would prefer not to move things around too much, unless we can get people to 
test the other models. I realize it is annoying that the subdriver names do not 
match the brands, but the idea is that the matching happens automatically.

Right, in usbhid-ups.c, the liebert_subdriver entry is after the 
belkin_subdriver.

I will have more time to look at this later, but at a quick glance, I did not 
see what you were referring to (the lsusb dump, while comprehensive, is hard to 
parse). Bear in mind that many vendors duplicate Input and Feature HID elements.

Sure, although the unmapped entries are just for debugging - we will want to 
eventually rename them to official NUT names, or comment them out again before 
checking the driver in to version control.

Probably belkin-hid.

Thanks for testing!
