Hi Michele
Yes, this is possible. Have a look at this thread: http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/2-0-board-and-the-apm-power-m...
The easiest way is probably to solder three wires to the GND, V and A pads on the power module and connect them like you would connect the AttoPilot sensor (See: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Current).
Be aware that you need to set VOLT_DIVIDER to 10.1 to get the correct readings from you battery (See: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/arducopter-parameters/#Voltage_Div...)
Regards,
Daniel
