No.  I'm not sure that it's possible to standaise on mWh.  APM only
gives you a reading in percent, for example, with no way to find out how
much power is actually there.

The goal is to standardise on some unit that means the same thing across
all batteries in the laptop.  Since you either have "an ACPI machine" or
"an APM machine" or "a PMU machine", however, each different type of
machine can have a different standard unit.

If there is, however, some way to get mWh information out of APM that
would be even cooler. :)

Cheers.
