Note that the above only works if you're using the 'mge-shut' or  
'mge-utalk' drivers. If you're using the 'newmge-shut' or 'usbhid-ups'  
driver, you might try if the UPS allows setting this value by using  
'upsrw' to change the value of 'battery.charge.low'.

Having said that, a UPS that triggers a low-battery warning during a  
weekly test is suspect of having a faulty battery. A weekly test runs  
the UPS on battery for only a handful seconds (typically 5-10  
seconds). If it can't keep up that long without triggering a  
low-battery warning, it most certainly won't have enough capacity left  
for a clean shutdown of the attached systems if the power really  
fails. So either the battery is worn out or the load on the UPS is too  
high.
