I don't have any APC units to test with (we've long ago given up on them and moved to Eaton), but instead of looking for specific values we let the device decide if something is good or bad.
We have three generic alerts that cover all of our devices:
status_event equals alert sensor_value greater @sensor_limit AND @sensor_limit ne NULL sensor_value less @sensor_limit_low AND @sensor_limit_low ne NULL
This will throw an alert if any value is out of range high/low, or if a sensor itself is reporting not normal. Every UPS we've seen the output status and battery status go not-normal when input power is lost. Might be worth playing around with and see if you can simplify/genericize your alerting.
We do also have "sensor_value lt 20" with the association of "sensor.sensor_descr equals Battery Runtime Remaining" to alert us to potentially overloaded UPS'es, or batteries going bad that haven't tripped the UPS'es internal failure threshold.

Been working on getting this configured and my head around this alert. I've got it working to alert me of going on battery now, and if the batteries are marked as bad.
This is specifically tested with an APC Smart-UPS SRT 6000, SKU: SRT6KXLT.
I have three checks:
1: UPS on battery Test Condition: status_value eq 3 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbasicoutput-state Device in $device
2: UPS battery needs replacing Test Condition: status_value ne 1 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbatteryreplace-state Device in $device
3: UPS battery status Test Condition: status_value ne 2 Association: Status Type in powernet-upsbattery-state Device in $device
I hope this will be helpful as I didn't see much come up in my searching before. -- Bryan Fields
