with the X-T2/grip in HP mode firing short bursts in AF-C. Over about a 2 hour period I shot just over 2200 raw+fine Jpeg files and depleted one battery and about 2 bars of the second.

that's more than great, right?

Yes it is.

What I've found is that taking photos with Fuji's isn't what depletes the battery as demonstrated above. It's the amount of time spent looking through the EVF for composing and then later chimping that kills them.

edit;

BTW I do use the EVF sensor mode but solve the problem of it being activated by hanging against my body by turning the camera off if I'm not looking through it.
