Re: EOS R5: External Battery USB-C Power

I am currently at a corporate head shot shoot for the next couple of days. A few days ago I purchased a LP-E6 USB-C dummy battery. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MTFKL6Y

Today I have been using it for 7 hours straight thus far. It is installed in an R7,. I have the Dummy Battery connected to a 10000mAh 20W Power Bank USB C Mini Portable Portable Battery. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XW7ZVKD  The battery still shows to have 20% left.

BTW, I am shooting tethered so I also have the R7's USB-C port connected to a USB-C PD Port on a laptop.   So that is also providing some power to the R7 as well, which results in longer battery life.

So far so good
