Ok, so I have 2 batteries for my 1Dx. I marked them (after this happened the first time) A and B. Well, last week I was shooting a football game, battery says 3100 frames and 41% remaining. Next burst the camera just shuts off. Battery light flashes. Turn on cam, check battery info menu, 41% 3 green bars for the health. Shoot and shuts off again. Swap to A battery fresh off the charger and no issues for the remainder of the game.

Now, flash forward to today, when I'm packing my camera up to ship off to CPS, I put the battery in, says 41%. Go through a couple menu items to turn off shooting without a card and bam, just going through menus it shuts down. Turn it back on, battery flashing on top LCD. Try one more time and nothing. Completely dead.

I can't tell if it was the battery that came with the cam or the extra (canon) I bought but thinking it has to be a bad battery???
