[Nut-upsuser] Cyber Power System CP1500 AVR UPS: changing battery.charge.low value [ups.delay.start sidebar]

[chribonn at duck.com]

Very good point.  I hope to write a beginners guide -- more like adopting
my notes --on NUT.

I could summarise your point that technically one should only override
settings that NUT can act upon (like those settings that control Low
Battery or, as stated in the documentation if the reported value is known
to be incorrect.  Overriding a variable that is out of scope for NUT (as
with upd.delay.start) only leads to false depictions of facts; the reading
would not match what will actually happen.
