Sysfs reading broken?

I see that powertop 1.10 reads the sysfs interface to acpi. Great. However, I
think that the reading is currently broken, for the following reasons:
1. It reads /sys/class/power_supply/<device>/energy_now which (at least on my
debian box) doesn't exist. I think it should read charge_now.
2. It reads current_now as watts_drawn, I think it should be amperes_drawn
It also appears that the units are not correctly calculated too.
