But the damage Vader sustained from that, especially to his life support systems, was the main reason he died not long after.

But is seems that Vader is doing something to Sidious so that Sisidous doesn't shoot lightning at vader at his full potential. the amount of lightning that Sidious shoots at Vader is not as much as he does with Luke.
