Odd - it returns battery charge, and nominal voltage, but not the
actual voltage.

The reported status is "online" and "charging". Does that match the
front panel lights?

Before you put it into production, be sure to test the shutdown
sequence with a dummy load (so that you don't remove power from the
computer at an inopportune time). docs/shutdown.txt in the NUT source
tarball explains this, and you probably want to consult any
Gentoo-specific documentation to see what modifications are necessary
to their system shutdown scripts.
