The "-l" and "-L" options can be considered the "short" and "long" versions of the "list UPSes" option (where the long version also shows the description from ups.conf).

If I understand correctly, your second command line should be: upsc `upsc -l` (although this won't work if you add a second UPS).

Sorry, I misread the man page for upsc. I went back, re-read it and then typed

rpr...@glacon2:~> upsc -l
Eaton-66781
rpr...@glacon2:~> upsc -L
Eaton-66781: Eaton Ellipse ASR 1500 USBS
rpr...@glacon2:~> upsc `upsc -l` battery.charge
100

which is correct.

On system startup I get the following messages in /var/log/messages
...
upsmon[23711]: Startup successful
upsmon[23712]: Login on UPS [eaton-66...@localhost] failed - got
               [ERR ACCESS-DENIED]

Your upsd user and password in upsmon.conf (on the MONITOR line) need to match an appropriately privileged user in upsd.users.

My upsmon.conf MONITOR line is

MONITOR eaton-66...@localhost 1 upsmaster sekret master

and upsd.users says

[upsmaster]
        password = sekret
        upsmon master

so the user and password match. Is this enough to be "appropriately privileged", or do I need more?
