Jul 02, 2011 13:10 | #3 Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, with or without the grip. I won't be able to test for awhile yet myself. (for starters I don't have the grip at the moment, I'm kinda assuming that two batteries at least will be needed). • http://www.kurtlawson.com

Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken but I believe that with two batteries in a grip, one bettery expires prior to the second taking over. Therefore, you can see how long one battery in your camera lasts and multiply by two. David
