I usually use the Genmon plugin to display the battery percentage (see http://syntaktisk.dk/grphcs/desktop251209.png) as a numerical value, but it would be nice to have this feature included in the power manager itself - since the graphic is nice, but not exactly a precise indication of the battery life.

Hi, This have been discussed before, the problem here is that the Genmon and the battery plugins are panel plugins e.g GtkWidget, but xfpm uses a system tray icon, which work differently and we can only render images on it, the only one possibility now is to render the percentage as a part of the image and then draw it to the status icon, tricky, but i have it on my todo list at least to give it a try.
This was hard before, but as the battery stuff is a panel plugin now as well, it should be doable. Duplicate bugreport though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 4499 ***
