Here's a functional example from a UPS I setup several weeks ago, after 
a lot of trial-fail-fix-retry runs:
[guardian]
         driver = nutdrv_qx
         port = auto
         desc = "Guardian LCD 1500 AP by Inform"
         #manufacturer = Inform
         #modelname = "Guardian LCD 1500 AP"
         vendorid = 0001
         productID = 0000
         protocol = q1
#       override.battery.packs = 1
         runtimecal = 120,100,480,50
         default.battery.voltage.low = 21.2
         default.battery.voltage.high = 27.7

Mind that the voltages included in the file ( 21.2 and 27.7 ) are those 
that were reported by the UPS after being fully charged and respectively 
immediately before shutdown. The runtimecal was also created based on 
the actual run times , after using some coffee machines and lamps to 
create dummy loads of (roughly ) 50% and 100%
