The "test.battery.start" command takes a parameter in seconds (defaults to 600):

It is possible that 600 seconds is too long for your model.

All of these NUT instant commands get converted to one- or two-character commands to be sent to the UPS:

It is probably worth a quick check to see if the vendor software has any documentation on the battery test options.

The battery test commands are likely to stop before the battery gets drained too much. You can also use a power strip or circuit breaker to cut the input power to determine runtime.
