UPS battery lengths?

I'm new to all of this, so any help would be much appreciated!!

I just installed my first UPS battery backup (APC BE550G Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V). FrontView is showing all systems green on the UPS and it shows 100% Battery Charge, 476 minutes. Is that the amount of time it takes to charge the batter, or how many minutes the load that is currently plugged in will remain running on the battery?

Thanks in advance!

    Based on jedi posts here, the "auto" setting means that the NAS shuts down when the UPS sends a critical power event (that is, the UPS has a built-in threshold of its own). Though of course if you set a percentage, the the NAS determines the shutdown time.
