I assume that the batteries that I'm using in my *ist-D will give you
similar results in the Ds. I'm using two sets
of Energizer 2500 mAh AA batteries, they came in a set with an 8 hour
charger. They last for more than 800 exposures
or several days with moderate use, say 100+ exposures a day, between
recharges, (that's for each set by the way). I
also have a set of non rechargeable lithium cells for back up though
I've never had to use them. There's also an AC
adapter that's available. I picked up a genuine Pentax version for a
relatively good price, ($40.00), but I believe that
there's a generic adapter that will work which can be bought for 1/2 to
1/4 what I paid but I don't remember who makes
or sells it. I'm sure someone will supply a link. You can go crazy
buying batteries but the ones I have are available in
most discount stores, and they seem to be very good.
