<div align="justify">OK, so yesterday evening I done a real test
cutting of the power to the UPS. And it went good... the UPS
supported my server for 28:50 minutes (i.e. the expected runtime
with this load), before forcing shutdown. The batteries could
still hold as charge was 30 % with about 15 minutes run time.
And the UPS did hold for another full 10 minutes before powering
off. These are the relevant lines from /var/log/ups:<br>

<p>that looks perfectly fine<br>

The server was shutdown properly, but for some reason it did not
power off. I saw an error from <font face="Courier New,
Courier, monospace">umount</font> about busy file system, but
I'm sure this doesn't always happen.<br>

<p>the error is related to your linux system, not to nut<br>

With everything powered off, I extracted the original batteries
to check them and measure the voltage. The batteries are Leoch
DJW12-9.0 with one of them at 12.57 V and the other at 12.64 V
(measured without load after the discharge).<br>

<p>That's... surprisingly well, assuming your multimeter indicates
correct values. I would have expected values well below 12V</p>

And this morning there was again a short power failure (not more
than 30 minutes, because the router connected to the battery
power from the UPS did hold up). With batteries charged up to
91% the UPS supported the server for just 07:10 minutes and
forced shutdown with 69% battery charge and over 20 minutes of
run time...<br>

So, it seems to me that my UPS forces shutdown pretty randomly.
Why the UPS is not waiting for the preset low battery charge
value of 15%? What is actually driving this FSD ALARM and LB
signal when batteries for sure could hold up more?</div>

<p>Can you please show us all the configuration files ? I can only
suspect that there is something wrong there because (from a
hardware point of view) the UPS behaves very very well, according
to your tests and logs.<br>
