This is intentional. The capacity mode determines the units in which  
FullChargeCapacity and DesignCapacity will be reported. Generally,  
this will be '2' so values are reported in percent (%). In many cases  
they will read 100% at all times (I have yet to find a UPS where the  
FullChargeCapacity drops with aging batteries).

That could also be the case. Given the fact that this is a highly  
loaded UPS (56%), it wouldn't be strange that you would need more than  
81% charge left if you set the low battery level to a runtime  
remaining of 300 seconds.

With just two '-D' flags, you'll get a dump of all HID paths that are  
supported by the UPS. We need three '-D' flags however to see the raw  
report descriptor, which I would like to archive for future use.
