Oops, I was commenting on the LP-E4 batteries for 1D-series cameras. I confused LP-E4 and LP-E6. My bad.
Still, I think the following is right for LP-E4, LP-E4N batteries:
The Canon 1DX spec sheet (link below) shows the 1DX will work with both the new LP-E4N and the old LP-E4 batteries. I\'ve heard (probably here) that the new batteries should work in old bodies but new batteries will not work in old chargers. So, the writing is on the wall, but it appears to be a gradual replacement process, not something that will eliminate LP-E4 batteries in the short term.

Me too, six of them. The Canon 1DX spec sheet (link below) shows the 1DX will work with both the new LP-E6N and the old LP-E6 batteries.
