Main reason is improved ergonomics.

Not for extra battery life.

I use the "first part" roughly 80% of all my shooting with the camera. It only goes off when I want the camera extra small (like with the 20mm Pany). Also with the Rokinon fisheye, it is easier to not get fingers in the frame without the grip.

The extra add-on second part gets used only 10% of that time.

The second part of the grip really comes in handy on busy shoots or when used on a tripod, its a whole lot quicker changing the battery from the side
