UPS software is normally configured to send a "shutdown"  message to
attached systems when
remaining runtime is low/  The management software requires a data
connection (serial cable,
USB, or network), shutdown messages are sent to other systems using the
network, so you
need a UPS for network switches.

5 minutes of UPS runtime could be a worn-out battery, and would probably
trigger a shutdown
command on the laptop if you did not explicitly configure it to ignore a
shutdown command from
the UPS management software.
