If there are any URLs that you found particularly helpful for getting started 
with that, let me know. These sorts of test scenarios pop up every now and then.

It's going to be a little while before I can get back to this, but maybe one of 
the other NUT developers can help. One thing I did not do is try to map this to 
an equivalent Eaton model[*]. There might be additional features or fixes if 
someone knows the exact equivalent.

This part looks weird, but maybe I am not used to seeing the status of a larger 
UPS: "ups.status: OL CHRG OFF" (maybe "battery.charger.status: floating" means 
float charging, rather than resting.)

If it really is off, then ups.load, ups.power and output.voltage seem 
reasonable. Otherwise, we might have an issue with scaling the values. (That 
sort of error is not common on MGE/Eaton units, but you never know.)

My personal recommendation is to do as much shutdown testing as you can before 
hooking up critical loads. It looks like "outlet.1.autoswitch.charge.low: 0" is 
off, so that should simplify testing. Also, try a battery test to see what 
messages you get in syslog. There are some procedures listed in the NUT User 
Manual for how to test shutdowns without accidentally cutting power if things 
are not configured correctly.
