c jensen Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 <p>If I purchase the BG-E6 battery grip and use it with two batteries simultaneously will the "Battery Life" function still work properly? Which battery will it display on the LCD or will it somehow toggle between the two?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 <p>I believe the two batteries are connected in parallel, both on-line simultaneously, providing twice the capacity of a single battery.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_oflaherty Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 <p>It will show both batteries at the same time with the all the info your used to seeing. You 'll love the grip, if you have never had one shoting vertical becomes a dream and it looks good also.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anunes Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 <p>In the LCD it display a combined charge of the two batteries. In the main display you can find their data separately.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c jensen Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 <p>Thanks for the input. I've ordered the grip for arrival tomorrow. I've used one before on my 50D but not on the Mark II. Decided to do it while shooting with one of my heavier lenses over the weekend... Seemed "off balance" without a grip.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_runnoe2 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 <p>I've read it takes a few shots drawing off one battery, then switches to the other and so forth.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
