its called arelasBatteryMeter.... Yes your right, idling with 0 programs open and brightness set to 2 ticks from the lowest it idles at a discharge rate of 60 MA, with the brightness turned up its at 150MA, So clearly its alot of battery. With most programs open and my brightness down to 2 from the bottom, I discharge at about 300MA, with brighness up it idles at like 400MA, so yes.

Confirmed brightness does effect your battery current.
