This apparently has been well documented and known for awhile but I just found out about it after having issues for some time.
Here is a link to one persons issues with the BG-E2 Vertical Grip:

Here is a link to Canon admitting that sometimes things don't work like they should:

After speaking to Canon customer service they are predicting a 10 day turn around and they either fix or repair.
I strongly suggest that if you own this grip, even if you are not having problems (and have an affected serial number) you may want to call anyways. I had 5 photos from the heat of the moment April 29th tornado get lost because of the power issue in the vertical position. I was ready to buy a new camera I was so pissed.
