Here's what devkit-power --dump produces. Note, that despite that
devkit-power shows 947 watt-hours for 'energy-full', if I look in /sys 
myself, this is what I get:

[mrsam at lc2440 tmp]$ cat 
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full
63000000

/sys shows 63 watts, and this is what devkit-power tells me:
