Nut upsdev - Jul 2008 - Shutdown by battery.remaining or battery.runtime?

On a test shutdown of an APC Back-UPS RS1500 upsc was run periodically
to follow the UPS discharge, it showed these values:

battery.low  120
battery.charge.low 10

As it turned out, the battery.charge.low was encountered first and the
system shut down there.  However, considering the rate at which the
charge was falling at the end I would much rather have had it shutdown
sooner than it did.  Is there a place in the upsmon.conf (or elsewhere)
file where one may enter something like:

  OVERRIDE_BATTERY_CHARGE_LOW 20
  OVERRIDE_BATTERY.LOW       240

???

Note, I'm not trying to schedule the shutdown at a particular time, just
change the limits for when the UPS is considered to be "out of juice".

Thank you,

See 'man 8 upsrw'. If your UPS supports changing this value, it should
be
listed if you run 'upsrw <upsname>'. Most of the time, if it is
possible
to change this value, it will be stored in non-volatile memory in the UPS
itself, so you only need to do this once.

If you have any more questions regarding this, please use the nut-upsuser
mailinglist instead.
