Tell HN: Laptop Runs Without Battery

UPS - USB not recognized
The Synology software is based on N.U.T. https://networkupstools.org and the Plus 1100 (listed on NUT as the Easy Power 1200) is supported in the native package with the 'blazer' driver. If you have the skills, I would SSH into the NAS and see if the device is 'noticed' or better yet recognised by the USB sub-system when you plug it it. (Normal Linux would use the lsusb command to see devices but I have no NAS handy to see if this is valid on the Synology)

What UPS are you using?
Others have answered the hardware part of your question. I have not seen much mention about the software to control graceful shutdowns. For this I suggest you look at the ”Network UPS Tool” (NUT for short) project (https://networkupstools.org/). It is mostly manufacturer agnostic with clients for a vast array of hardware components.

Cyberpower UPS issue
So no, the NAS does not monitor the battery level. The UPS does that. The NAS just acts on the messages it receives from the UPS via Synology's version of NUT - Network UPS Tools (https://networkupstools.org/). The NAS will first receive the ON_BATTERY/POWERFAIL signal. Then, eventually the BATTERY_LOW signal at which time the UPS will shutdown. So you really need to set a time for it to shut down *BEFORE* you get BATTERY_LOW.

/u/KaiserTom breaks down the results of SETI@home, the big data citizen science project from the 90s/2000s
You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.
