The value of battery consumption in mAh is not transferred via MAVLINK, so 
can't be displayed. The percentage reading really gives you the same 
information, it is just that it has been scaled to a percentage based on the 
battery capacity you selected. This is the same as with MAVLINK 0.9 and 
previous releases of the mission planner. I have to admit that I prefer the 
percentage.

Battery current (in Amperes) was not transferred in MAVLINK 0.9, but is in 1.0 
with the latest 2.6 code in the repository (although not in the load accessible 
via the mission planner as of 26-Jun-12, but presumably next time it is built). 
The value  is not currently being displayed.
