Mike if I could add one piece of equipment to your list, if I wasn't going to do remote individual internal battery resistance testing, then I would add a good conductance meter, like the Midtronics Ultrameter. And there is a condition known as "Thermal Runaway" where we have seen perfectly good batteries die in less then a month becasue of overcharging. Our BMS has a constant monitored temperature of each battery.
And for the generator exercising, we make another product we call a ContactAgent that monitors contact closures. It addition to the possible 32 Digitsl/Analog inputs, it has two Form C relay outputs allowing the user to start and stop the generators remotely.

Great write up, very valuable information.
Might I also recommend checking the air filters and changing if necessarily, it would greatly help with air into the system, and in turn help with keeping it cool. It's something that only takes a minute but make a big difference.
Also if you need a UPS Maintenance Provider Jantech Services works all on all major manufactures.
