Hi Robert,

Nothing abormal..

[10729.035092] 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x004E): Battery capacity 
test started:.
[10729.035485] 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0055): Battery charging

[10730.253460] 3w-9xxx: scsi1: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0056): Battery charging

Should I run the upsmon/etc with maximum debug/to get a trace?

Justin.
