The battery icon vanished on my notification bar. Is there a way to turn it back on?

I've got the exact same problem. Click on the battery or signal icon and a screen comes up that says I have no notifications.
I'm using Mobile Shell 3 and that has a better battery icon anyway, so I'm good.

I found the problem. I turned on the clock at the top of the screen and it removed the battery icon. WEIRD!

Mobile Shell 3 instead of Touch Flo 3?

ABSOLUTELY !!!!

Let me clarify. Mobile Shell 3 is, in my humble opinion, far superior to TF3D. It is very customizable, and allows you to put the program icons right on the screen, along with contact icons.

AND it has a better battery indicator.

Better battery indicator? Can you tell me where that is located? I am going to download it tonight and see how it works.

MS3 has several pages of details. One of them is what they call the "Lifestyle Layout". THis is the layout that is 100% customizable. One of the "Widgets" you can add is the battery monitor, as well as the usual indicators for calendar, time, voice mail etc. You can also change the background. They offer some canned ones, but you can add any picture you want.
I hope this helps.

Hmm--I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing then. I have a battery icon at the top of the screen. On my Diamond, if I clicked on any of the icons on the top of the page, it opened up another page with larger icons for the battery, memory,EVDO, etc. Clicking on any of these icons brought up details. As an example, I would get the battery page with the green indicator showing how much the battery is charged,

Now, when I click on the battery icon at the start of the page, I'm brought to a second page as before. Instead of larger icons for the battery etc, this new page says that there are no notifications.
