Hi Guys,
Was planning on powering the pocket 4k and the feelworld 279s external monitor via a sony 970 battery plate to canon lpe6 dummy battery with these SWIT 8972 batteries linked here:

These batteries have a 7.2V pole tap out the back as well so you can power another device like a monitor. However im told that the power draw of the pocket 4k may be too demanding for one sony 970 battery to power both camera + monitor at the same time. One youtuber Tom Antos even shared that he was using the dc power out from his monitor using a sony 970 battery to power the camera and he damaged his monitor. I'm not sure if this was due to a weakness in the monitor he was using or just the heavy demand from the pocket 4k or both.
Just wondering if these SWIT batteries via dummy battery direct to the camera, and dc out from battery to monitor will be safe to use without damaging the equipment?
Also would like some incite on what the maximum power draw ( in amps or watts ) is from the pocket 4k when working at its hardest like when shooting in high framerates, etc.. and whether there's any room to power anything else during these times?
