In my testing the battery power doesn't matter for electronic shutter. I've shot it at close to 20 fps down to 5%. Look for other items that may be slowing the process down like Dual Pixel RAW.

Also, I remember a FM thread where someone reached out to Canon and Canon suggested the San Disk CFe card was too slow and buffered the shots too soon. So the camera was really capturing at 20 fps, but the buffering and slow writing didn't timestamp it until after the one second mark. His was a San Disk 256GB CFe. They mentioned something about it should be showing 99 in the shot buffer prior to starting the burst, but his was only showing 66. Check to see if you have a 66 buffer limit too.

They suggested shooting a phone's stopwacth app to confirm the shooting speed and not the file write speed.
