A small "gotcha" I found about this  is even though the M6 mkII and the RP use the same batteries, they use different dummy batteries, due to how the power cable exits the cameras. I bought the Canon branded ones, and found they also use different sized barrel connectors, which don't fit any that I already own, so I also got two Canon branded power supplies.
