So I should try finding the addon and removing or renaming it?

right

simply unplug your UPS' USB cord
rename the hald-addon-hid-ups file (should be somewhere in
/usr/lib/hal ; use rpm or deb to query the content exact and path of
the hal package)
plug back your USB cord,
retry the previous tests.
