@FrankZappa said in NUT dashboard widget:
battery.date 2001/09/25
battery.mfr.date 2021/04/10
The battery.mfr.date is correct. Thats when I bought the APC.
However, the battery.date (and install date on widget) is waaaaaaay off. Can the widget reflect the battery.mfr.date?
I've researched a bit, and it appears that the battery date situation with USB UPSs is a bit messed up. In addition to issues like battery.date vs battery.mfr.date you and @tgl encountered with APC, the CyberPower issues appear even worse.
Truth be told, it probably isn't all NUT's fault as it looks like the manufacturers don't seem to completely agree how the dates should map with USB ids.
I think for the time being I'm going to pull the battery install date out of the status widget, at least for USB UPSs. I think as things currently are it would end up causing too much confusion with folks. I'll revisit it in the future.
