"ConsistentClockOrBattery"=dword:0

As another idea, it seems that whenever the battery level is changed then its icon takes over that location. So you could install a custom taskbar icon setup that updates every 1%.

Yah I tried that but it messes up the alignment and I kinda want to keep the clock in all other programs. THank for the recommendation. There has to be some lockscreen taskbar regedit that deals with this because as soon as i undo the password the battery comes back to the taskbar.
