I am using the usbhid-ups driver with a Belkin UPS.
upsc shows several parameters which I would like to both understand and probably change. In particular the following part of upsc output:

battery.charge.low: 30
battery.charge.warning: 30
battery.runtime: 120

My questions are:

1) What is the difference between battery.charge.low and battery.charge.warning? I presume these are % thresholdsWhich of these triggers the low battery event? 2) Is there some way to change these? 30% charge seems to me to be sailing a little close to the wind. As the battery ages - I'm sure the UPS will cut out long before "zero" is reached. Also - if it comes back up with < 30% charge - and another power fail occurs soon after - that is not good. Are these set i the source code - or is there another config file somewhere. upsrw doesn't appear to be able to change these.
3) What exactly is battery.runtime.

Can anyone point me to documentation which describes these parameters?

Thanks

Richard.
