Seems strange to me. While no standard is totally standard,
USB is reasonably standardized. And while some linux kernels

that all seems to be fixed now.
Does linux recognize the USB plug-in at all?

Mine's a different brand and does the same thing. There is a
way to turn it off but the UPS is ancient and the documentation
has long since gone the way of all documentation...
