Ooops.... finally I found it.
The best place for config parameters is ups.conf:

[test1]
	driver = powercut
	desc = "Simulated power break"
	current_discharge = 42
	current_charge = 1.3

then I can retrieve them by
	getval("current_discharge")
and
	getval("current_charge")

Sorry for the line noise. :)
