[Nut-upsuser] HP R3000XR battery charge levels?

Nice to see that you got it running.

This may indicate a faulty battery in the pack.
You have 10x12volt, and it should go up to about 137 volt at
100% charge.
Also the runtime estimated by the ups is only about 7 min (443 sec).
And that is low as it is only loaded to 37,5%. That should be a runtime
at about 13 min.

This look OK. 1080.5 is about 37,5 % of 2900.

No, it is the same battery-pack in the European 230 volt unit. 

But one thing is bothering me:
>input.frequency.nominal: 60
>input.transfer.boost.high: 12
>input.voltage:  119.8
>input.voltage.nominal: 120

The value for input.transfer.boost.high: is way out of range.
The value is not reported in the meter map
And you don't have any trim, high or low point.
It should look like this.
input.frequency.nominal: 50
input.transfer.boost.high: 207
input.transfer.high: 276
input.transfer.low: 184
input.transfer.trim.low: 243
input.voltage: 229
input.voltage.nominal: 230
(this is from a PW5115)

Also the serial number look strange. So I need to take look on the
driver.

Think you have a dying battery pack.
