Numeric battery carried over after upgrading to 3.0?

Alright guys, upgraded to 3.0 when it came out, and noticed afterward that there was a 100% next to my standard apple battery pic. Thought it was added on by apple to give the best of both worlds, but then saw screen shots where it was just the standard apple battery. I was running jailbroken before, and remember upgrading to another firmware before 3.0 and still having the ability to toggle between the stock and numeric battery even though it wasn't jailbroken anymore. Now, when I try to go into sbsettings and enable numeric battery, it puts it on the side of the battery instead of being able to tap the battery and toggle between the two! Not very bothersome but was just curious is anyone else had this problem also?

Yeah just noticed that after installing sbsettings it started to drain really fast, weird because it was doing great beforehand when it had numerical battery but no sbsettings! Tokio, and clue as to why it would show up numerically next to the original battery icon as opposed to being able to toggle?

You might want to watch out numerical % battery indicators are a massive drain on the battery.

How much of a drain? I've had a numerical battery indicator on my 3g for awhile and I've noticed the battery gets drained pretty quick. If this is the cause for my poor battery life why is it such a strain on the battery?
