"My battery... were almost dead,"

By chance were you using a BG-E11 with one battery in it. I know mine will not wake from sleep under that condition and needs a power OFF-On to start it up again

Really? BG-E11 has that issue?
If so, Canon needs to fix it because the 3rd party brand does NOT have that issue…
But one thing i have to agree, the mk3 DOES wake up a tad bit slower than my 60D..not sure why..it's not a major difference, but you do feel it slower.

I felt that the battery life was poor on mine.  I seemed to get about 1/3 less use from it.

Wow, at all the shoots before I got my BG-E11, one LP-E6 lasted the entire day, over 2000 shots.

And my 5D3+BG-E11 wakes up (albeit slowly) with any button press. I think I'll just adjust the sleep timer to something longer.. maybe 5 minutes.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right, I get 1000 images on any of my batteries, and I had 700 on the 5d2.

Are you using a wiring SD card? I've heard they run down the Mm III battery quickly.
