Remarks

The Win32_Battery class is derived from CIM_Battery which derives from CIM_LogicalDevice.

Windows Server 2008 contains the (APC) UPS drivers in the OS, which allows you to treat the UPS as a battery supply. This allows you to monitor the UPS status using a script and take actions when necessary.
