What sort of load did you have in parallel with the multimeter? (This is why 
Wolfy mentioned the light bulb: if the battery has developed excessive internal 
resistance, it will show proper voltages when tested open-circuit, but will 
read lower with a load.)

Hard to say what the UPS firmware does internally - the NUT driver just sends 
the standard HID queries at the configured polling rates. The reason why I keep 
bringing up potential hardware issues is that MGE was very open with their 
standards, and the drivers were extensively tested against hardware from that 
era.

You sent some debug output earlier - did that include the point at which the 
UPS shut down? If not, that would be useful information.
