Hi guys, Thanks much again,
After making another test under load (without taking the batteries), NUT now reports: ups.status: ALARM OL ups.alarm: Battery voltage too low! So you were right: I'm going for a battery replacement ;) Again thanks much for all, specially to Charles Lepple for the detailed information.
