An update on this...
I did what someone before recommended. I let it charge with no load on it for 48+ hours, then plugged load into it, ran it as normal for a few hours, and then killed the input power. The battery lasted 4 minutes 47 seconds - before the software sent the shutdown syscall (it does it at 5 minutes of no input power). That's rediculously low considering two people confirmed that a 950VA UPS can sustain dual 21" LCD monitors and their PC (similar to mine) for 10-12 minutes.

I wrote an email to Belkin support to see if they have any troubleshooting/diagnosing ideas. Let's see what comes of it.
