Btw ReadyNAS OS 6.6.1 is now available!
In the unlikely event you still have problems on 6.6.1 please start a new thread.

The data is stale which means the communication with the ups is affected.

This was my thought too; though I haven't yet tested mine to failure (UPS battery depletion), when I unplugged the UPS from the wall, the ReadyNAS made no indication at all of any power issue, which it has done on the prior firmware. It certainly appears that the ReadyNAS simply has no communication with the UPS and therefore wouldn't shut itself down safely at any point.
I'll give it a shot later on and let the UPS run down fully to find out for sure. My data is backed up anyway.

I'm having the same problem myself. I just replaced the battery like 3 months ago. It's a APC 500 Pro I belieave. It's been Yellow for a while. I've been thinking something was wrong with the UPS again. I just went into the settings for it, clicked on Apply and it changed to Green. It's been yellow for a while now. So, clearly a bug.
