I have a Tripp-lite OMNISM1000USB, their own software didn't report a 
runtime, it simply shut down the PC after a set amount of time (2-5min). 
It also didn't show load, so a watt meter was needed to determine that.

Using the runtime graphs on Tripp-Lite's site, you can verify you have 
enough time, but you need to be conservative to account for aging batteries.

I think NUT can take care of the scheduling (running shutdown after X 
minutes) based on a powerfail event.
