If they are in agreement, then there is no problem with NUT. Your issue is with the UPS or the battery. Aftermarket batteries can be .. substandard. We bought one in 2018 that turned out to be manufactured in 2012. -- Stuart D.

How you find out your battery was manufactured in 2012? I did buy an after market battery. How would I know if is the UPS? Maybe I shouldn't spend any money on the current one and I should just buy a new one.
