I thought that may be the case. But it hasn't always been like this.
20% = 2528320% rofl
has anyone ever had a battery issue where it gets stuck on a percent, and then when you respring it goes back to normal.... for example mine got stuck the other day and I was like "wow, my battery is crazy good today" then I did a respring and it dropped from 77% to like 30
It might be the issue described here, even though that particular post was from last year & was for 3.1.x. (Disclaimer: That post was mine.)
Essentially, older versions of iOS had the LOW_BATT_MSG_LEVEL message in SpringBoard.strings formatted differently than in 3.1.x (and presumably 4.x). Currently, iOS supplies the "xx%" as a string -- but the older message assumes that a numeric value is being passed in, with quite improbable numbers displayed as a result on-screen.
Because of the change, "lazy" older themes that incorporated all of the SpringBoard.strings file (rather than just changes needed by the theme) may have inadvertently included the "old" LOW_BATT_MSG_LEVEL message, which then messes up the displayed percent.
The fix is to look through the SpringBoard.strings files in any active themes, look for LOW_BATT_MSG_LEVEL, and if present either replace it with the correct value, or just delete it (and let the system default string take over).

The theme is from dBar. Slightly modified by myself. Along with Principium HD
It isn't really an issue. I quite like it for teh lulz.
All your battery are belong to me.

It's your ui images folder that's causing the problem . Most themes from Dbar do that especially the ones made by Tizzle. So just delete your UI popup and everything will be ok.
This seems more logical. As I only noticed this since I installed the theme I am using now.
For comical purposes, I shall leave it as is ^_____________^
