UPS stops working (UPS LED OFF) after 5 minutes, even if on Power.

[garethhowell]

This is really a follow-on to #60.

System is Pi 3B running Ioannis' image downloaded from Google Drive.
Firmware is UPS_PIco_HV3.0_main_29_120721_GPIO_USED.hex as supplied on the above image.
No settings have been changed.

System starts OK and seems to be running: UPS LED is ON, all others are OFF

$ python pico_status.py

However, two things:
If I remove power, I then get:
UPS LED stays ON, and BAT LED stays OFF. And

and, after 5 minutes, the UPS LED goes OFF and stops operating.

Pressing IR causes UPS to restart for another 5 mins.
