Bug Description
Currently the indicator can display such useful information as the amount of power (Watts) being consumed by the device, and the amount of stored energy left. However, this last value is not displayed in the standard unit for energy, the Joule, but in Watts-hours. Now, there is awareness that this last way of displaying energy amounts is or may be preferred by some, but there should be an option to display values in the correct units.
Also, it would be nice if beside the icon one could have text displayed, perhaps a user-formatted output, to have, for example, the amount of energy left in the battery and the power consumption.

I have filed the latter suggestion into a separate bug report, here is the link to it https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/battery- status/ +bug/813287
