My problem has always been the opposite, when the battery gets low
enough, can I effect a clean shutdown before the UPS runs out of power.
 B^)  apcupsd allows you to configure when you want the shutdown to
start either as a percentage of battery life remaining, or at a fixed
time before the batteries dies.  Knowing whether either of these is an
accurate amount is the problem.  I keep adjusting my values, but full
power outages which drain the UPS are so rare for me that when it
happens, its too late.  (OTOH, I get lots of power fluctuation which the
UPS treats as power loss/power restore, usually within 4-5 seconds, but
are actually just short voltage drops (brownouts)).
