no battery backup

The grip is confusing. When battery is in (on right side) and power adapter is in (on left side) the camera does not power up when the DC coupler is not plugged in. I thought the camera might work by drawing power from either the adapter or the battery. I assumed the battery would be a "back up" to the adapter, say, if moving the camera.


Looks like that's not true. So then there's no point putting a battery in the BG-E2 if one intends to use the coupler. Can't power the camera; is not charged.
