I'm looking for an app that'll allow the default status bar on my Droid to show the battery life in percentages.

I KNOW I've seen a screenshot of this somewhere, but I can't seem to do a search here or find it on the Marketplace.

Any help would be appreciated.

It might have been a screen replacement app like ahome, panda, or simillar. They have lots of customization. I'm not aware of anything that lets you alter the default notification bar this way. There are a lot of widgets that display the way you are asking.

I use Battery Indicator.

I agree, I was using something else, battery check or something but it only showed as a widget, not in the status bar.

BI shows the exact % for me in the status bar on the Epic but if it rounded by 10% I wouldnt care. I doubt I will ever see like 7% anyway because if it gets down to 10% its pretty much gonna die very shortly anyway - to the nearest ten % should be more than enough info you need about your battery. Only usefulness if you want to check if it is 100% full, when I charge it with the charge - it only goes to about 98%, when I use a seperate charge and put the battery in I get 100%
