Yes, this has been a known issue for a while:

^ If you add a dummy load, does this number go down to something that correlates with the battery runtime rating?

^ Seems a little high, even for charging.

If you have time before putting this UPS into production, can you grab upsrw and upscmd output, as mentioned here? http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html#footnotes

We have the upsc output for this UPS via serial port (bcmxcp driver), but not upsrw/upscmd: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/HP/R1500_G2.html

I would also recommend shutdown testing, but 14.04 is pretty reliable in this area (16.04 has some issues with powerdown, IIRC).
