Thanks, that is useful.

This is the first sign of trouble.

Note that for the first HID query, it returned a USB string descriptor for
"MEC" (08 bytes, 03 == string, rest is 16-bit Unicode).

Also, there is an 0086 Usage Page, but it is often confused with the 0084 page.
(If NUT reports a numeric Usage, then it is probably not one of the standard
numbers.) If this device can be made to return valid data, some additional
coding would be needed to map these to the proper pages.

Similar to before, this is a string descriptor ("MEC0002")

Also returned a fragment of a string descriptor ("UPS ").
It is possible that the blazer_usb driver initialization has put the UPS into a
bad state. If you can schedule some downtime, you might want to try usbhid-ups
again after powering the UPS down completely and unplugging it for a little
while. (Often, a few seconds after the output is off and the AC has been
removed, you will hear relays disengage.)
The other PDC HID UPSes would usually report some changes every few seconds. If
you do not see any changes after "rebooting" the UPS (something other than "Got
0 HID objects..."), try toggling the AC power (recommend using a circuit
breaker or power strip to keep the ground and neutral attached) to see what an
"on battery" event looks like.
