<![CDATA[NUT and UPS Calibration]]>I have replaced some batteries for my APC Smart-UPS 1500.  I have this unit running my firewall, switch, and a few miscellaneous networking items.  What I am looking to do is run a calibration on the unit (now that it has charged for 24 hrs).
I have nut installed on the pfSense unit and am connected to the UPS via USB, but I am unfamiliar with how to run the command to calibrate.

This info is correct for 2.4.3 p1, it may be correct for previous versions also, but I didn't test it.

The password for the nut admin account can be found in the /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.users file. It is a random password that changes with every reboot.

You can use that password for the various nut commands, upscmd and upsrw are the main ones.
