René Garcia, the author of the ESXi .vib, is subscribed to this list - perhaps 
he has some suggestions for other settings there?

We also don't have a lot of information on the APC CS650 specifically. There is 
a DDL entry for the Back-UPS CS 650IE, which may be similar; however, we don't 
have much information on whether the various options work as expected:

Does your serial number or firmware version look similar, or completely 
different?

Also, after you set offdelay, is there a corresponding timer variable in the 
'upsc' output? It is possible that the CS650 is using a different HID path for 
that timer (there are at least three in drivers/apc-hid.c).
