That's correct. If you change it in the current.inc, it will change that
particular entry in the Seasons skin.
However, if you want to change it for *all* skins, you can change it in
weewx.conf. Look for
[StdReport]
...
[[Defaults]]
...
[[[Labels]]]
...
[[[[Generics]]]]
...
inTempBatteryStatus = "NEMA BOX"
As for your struggles to find the right configuration option, read the
section *How options work
<http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#How_options_work>*. You were trying
to change things very far down the hierarchy, so it was getting overridden
by higher-level sections.
