The area of most concern would be the battery indicator. Did you intend to eliminate that? The numeric display would certainly require more frequent updates than the bar graph, but I could imagine certain points in the discharge cycle where it would update multiple times in a short time frame. It's not going to be a terrible drain on the battery, but defeats the purpose of eliminating or reducing the frequency of battery-expensive screen updates.
