UPSMODE is the mode in which apcupsd is operating.
STARTTIME is the time/date that apcupsd was started.
UPSNAME is the name of the UPS as stored in the EEPROM.
STATUS is the current status of the UPS (ONLINE, CHARGING, ON-

MASTERUPD is the last time the master sent an update to the slave.
This value is present only in slave configurations.
LINEV is the current line voltage as returned by the UPS.
LOADPCT is the percentage of load capacity as estimated by the UPS.
BCHARGE is the percentage charge on the batteries.
TIMELEFT is the remaining runtime left on batteries as estimated by
the UPS.
MBATTCHG if the battery charge percentage (BCHARGE) drops below
this value, apcupsd will shutdown your system.
MINTIMEL apcupsd will shutdown your system if the remaining runtime
equals or is below this point.
MAXTIME apcupsd will shutdown your system if the time on batteries
exceeds this value. A value of zero disables the feature.
