I think he is looking for USB info.  From the NUT FAQ,

Q: I just bought a new WhizBang UPS that has a USB connector.  How do
    I monitor it?

 A: If you're using a very new version of Linux that has hiddev
support
    or just happen to have the hiddev patches applied and working,
you're
    in luck.  On any other system or an older Linux kernel, there's
    nothing for you just yet.
