Is the iPod Touch 4G with iOS 5 suppose to have a Battery Percentage?

I just bought this iPod Touch from Target on Black Friday, and restored it from my old iPod Touch's Backup. I've noticed that my battery doesn't last very long and that up in the top right corner, to the left of the battery symbol, shows a percentage of battery left, but my friend that as the same exact iPod with same exact firmware doesn't have it. Is this because the iPod that I restored this one from was jailbroken? I restored my new iPod with a backup from my 2nd Gen iPod that was jailbroken.
Do you think I should restore as a new iPod?

Actually you can enable the battery percentage on iPhones, like you see in this picture.
I don't know why you can't do it with iPod's. I, for example, own a Touch 4G which has the battery percentage for the same reason yours do. It always happen when I restore my iPod and I've never experienced any trouble.
The battery percentage may be on because there is this key "<key>gas-gauge-battery</key>" under the
"N82AP.plist" file that was set to 'true' when you made the backup of the old iPod. In fact, if this key was changed, others could too, and these can be a problem.
If it was my iPod, I would leave it that way, as I try to avoid these custom settings
The fact is that it is not mine. And I don't know what you did to your iPod. So, if you care enough about your ipod, you should consider restoring as a new one
The battery life issue may be a firmware problem. I don't think the restore would be the cause.
