R7 batteries

Today I was out shooting in EFCS. It was my first time out in a while as I have been a whinging old git having had minor surgery so unable to walk. Daytime TV was driving me insane.
Out I went grabbing a battery from my pile. When I got to a spot where I could use the car as a hid I began shooting. I was in EFCS mode but for some reason I was only getting 8fps even in H+ mode. So I switched to ES and all was good.
When I got home I realised I had picked up an older but genuine LP-E6 battery (which shows three full blobs in my 7D2 for charging performance). It seems that with this battery, fps is limited in mechanical and EFCS shutter modes to 8fps. I began testing with my pile of both Canon and third party batteries. Watson and Neewer LP-E6N batteries were limited to 8fps but the NH versions worked fine. The Duracell NH battery was limited to 8fps. My Canon E6N batteries work fine at 15fps.
I’ve had a look in the manual but cannot find reference to this, but I must admit I didn’t look too deeply. I would be interested to hear what others are getting with your third party batteries.
I thought the H+ indicator in the viewfinder is how you know you can get maximum frame rate. Did you verify this by checking the time stamps?
