I think I'll have to spend additional time on that. The thing is that I have
this UPC since 6y and already replaced the battery. apcupsd is doing those
tests on monthly bases and I had never the power off. This is the first
time.

I think it might be that there was one virtual machine running while this
happened and it could be that it was eating too much power - but this is
strange anyway. I will have to investigate as I have not heard anything
better here.
