1DX with WFT-E6A Battery life when tethered

Hello all, I'm curious about the battery life on the 1DX when wirelessly tethered to a computer running EOS Utility, when using the WFT-E6A. Anyone in a studio environment have any idea? I feel the cam getting warm in some initial testing, but haven't done a full test.

Asking because i have two batteries, and with them taking 2 hours to charge, if the combo runs out of battery before 2 hours, I'll need to get another battery. I would do some testing, but i don't feel like putting thousands of clicks on my shutter for a few hours just for a test.

Thanks much!

I haven't tried the WFT-E6B for the 1DX, so I don't know the answer to your question.
But apart from that, let's assume you get 90 minutes out of a battery, which then takes 120 minutes to recharge.
That means you'd get 180 minutes out of two batteries. Meanwhile, the first has recharged for 90 minutes, and ought to give you another 60 minutes of operation. During that time, the second one has recharged for 60 minutes, and would then run another 45 minutes.

This is continuous operation for 4 hours and 45 minutes. Wouldn't it be time for a lunch break then, a break during which you have both batteries in the charger. That would allow the one that started recharging first to complete, and the second one to also complete, before you've run out of the first, when you resume shooing after lunch.

This is perhaps not an ideal way of working, but to me seems fair enough so you can evaluate if you really need to buy another battery just for this purpose.
Since you use the WFT-E6A, not the built-in Ethernet, I presume you don't want any wires connected to the camera? Otherwise there's a power kit which allows you to run the camera from a wall socket, but that does of course imply another cable.

Thanks for the feedback Anders. I hadn't thought about it that way since i'm concerned with keeping the batteries full (when they drop below 50% the fps drops a little) but i think It'll be enough as you described.

And yes, i'd rather not have more cords than i have to. i like being "untethered" when im tethered. and also, the shoot involved water, so there's that.

Thanks!

Just a follow up. I shot for 4 hours with an occasional live view to the laptop. The wft-e6a proved to be super fast at transferring small jpegs, and with those 4 hours, the battery showed only 50% down. For my first time tethering wirelessly is worked perfectly. Consider me impressed. I better be for how much that little guy costs though.

I should add that I was connected in ad-hoc mode so I didn't have to rely on an in house wifi signal.
