           Summary: apcupsd battery install date issues with newer devices
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

          Priority: ---

Newer battery backup devices don't support battery level, battery install date,
etc. Except thru their proprietary software. Can someone make changes to the
apcupsd to allow setting the battery install date manually. example pfsense
uses
the most current apcupsd package, but those of use with newer battery backups.
cannot set this in the eprom on our devices as the manufacturer blocks setting
those values or apcupsd doesn't know how to communicate with that particular
model. I think adding a simple drop down option for unsupported model to set
that value manually would be a easy option.
