Default Computer grounding via a UPS not proper - what could be the problem.

My computer gives me a shock; Some details:
Supply: 250 V/50 Hz.
Neutral to Ground at plug-point: 4-5V.
Power On (UPS), but no equipment drawing power: 9V (Computer-case to
Earth).
With everything powered ON: 20V (Case to Earth).
Everything ON: 5V (Earth to Neutral at powerstrip - before the UPS).


My UPS batteries are very weak and give about 4-5 minutes backup on
power-failure. Could this be causing the problem? How do i check to
see if the battery is dead?
