UPSes (through NUT - Network UPS Tools) also exposes these:
- battery.temperature => battery.temperature
- battery.is_dead => ups.status contains RB (Replace Battery)
- battery.is_overheat => nothing standardized

NUT also exposes various other temperature (depending upon the exact device):
- ups.temperature
- ambient.temperature.*
see http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/nut/tags/v2.2.0/docs/new-names.txt?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

Also check the above link for the full list of NUT supported battery data.
