Not understanding what has caused this topic re-surface, however, perhaps I might add that another cause of the battery drain could be long exposure noise reduction, I understand it's about the same duration as the exposure itself. That would be another drain on the battery, almost like taking two exposures.
Just in case somebody happens to pull this thread out with a search.
I remember taking night exterior shots of a hotel using the D1X tethered to a laptop. The D1 series batteries were notoriously poor, but I drained 2 batteries doing long exposures on one shoot! In those days I shot 3or 4 of each image ...so I could lose the noise by superimposition. I guess with today's NR in camera I would have only neeeded one battery.
Yes I think you are correct Eric.
However the D5xxx and D3xxx batteries are much lower powered compared to the professional Dx models and semi-professional camera Dxx and Dxxx models battery versions.
