energy performance on duo v1?
I was trying to run the number for the wattage used on my battery backup and was trying to see what the wattage of a readynas duo was. I did as an estimate that my pc's power supply is set to 110[volt...
I think the NAS gets that information directly from the UPS, so it should take the full draw on the UPS into account.

Maybe test the shutdown by simply unplugging the UPS and monitoring it - putting the plug back in before it gets all the way down to 10%. Then you can gauge the battery life directly. Possibly your shutdown setting just needs to be more conservative - the UPS report might be non-linear (take a nose dive to 0 when it reaches 20% for instance).
A safer way to test might be to plug in the Duo into the mains, and connect a 40 watt bulb to the UPS. Then Raidar/NAS can monitor, and should shut down. But there should be no risk to the raid array, since the power is never disrupted.
