Again, override.* is only part of the story for changing the threshold that NUT and/or the UPS uses for LB detection:

TL;DR: override does not change anything on the UPS - it only changes what upsd reports. You would need to use something like "ignorelb" in addition.

ignorelb should work for any UPS, though you can only effectively set it higher than the UPS default.
