The first output is total time on battery from last restart, not total
time remaining.  The second output is always 0, the script outputs a 0
just in case the "noo" option was missed.  The third output will be the
current up time when I get it fixed.  The forth output is the device name.

I don't think I want the gauge option, I want to count how many seconds
on battery from the last power failure, not from last restart.
Hopefully they're not the same.

I have tried the absolute option but that got me to same place, all
zeros in my log file.
