@nick-tech: AFAIK, no, the battery drain isn't available over lipc, which is the only thing we can use in the mesquite UI (or is it? it's readable in sysfs, FWIW).

That, and not quite sure how/when said display is even updated (every minute? every battery level change?).

Plus, the drain info takes more characters than the simple % value, so you'd have to jump through some extra hoops on the display front.
