Your best bet is to get a cheap multi/volt meter and mount it somewhere convenient

Yes because those come with monitoring software

Voltmeter works as UPS?

Nothing, but if it were a watt meter and amp meter you could calculate your power usage and divide it into your amp hours for approx time before shutdown after transposing the units.

How about you shut your power off then fully drain the UPS via computer usage. Start a timer
