The battery voltage jumper controls what is fed to the last ADC channel on the analog module. You either get to measure battery voltage on that last channel, or you get to hook something up to the last channel header on the bumper and measure that.

So, your experience would hold for everyone on the first cRIO slot since the battery voltage measurement is required by the rules this year.
