  I've been testing the 7D battery to see how the charge lasts using ML motion detect (frame difference) and with the power saving feature
  set to sensor =off LV = off.
  The result was a little disappointing as the charge only lasted 2 hours during which the camera took 60 photos (RAW), manual focus. The good news is that the camera stayed cool.

  My 7D will overheat if I run MOTION DETECT - EXPOSURE DETECT for over 20 mins. Is there any way I can run exposure detect in power saving mode or does exposure detect need the sensor turned on? Has anyone got a solution to this problem?

OK problem solved with latest ML software. Works perfectly!

Does the live view motion detect feature only take one photo, or does it reset automatically and take another next time there is a movement?

  I have been watching the information page on the problems Magic Lantern is having developing software for the 7D. I was hoping that if the problems are insurmountable, perhaps just enabling a motion detect feature may be possible?
  I am sure many wildlife photographers would be absolutely delighted with this, if it can be done.
