Shel, a guy at the Pentax booth at Photokina told me (and was not supposed to so I won't say his name) that those batteries for the K10D are the same as Minolta **-400. Don't remind the first letters but according to the quick search I did on google they may be NP-400 which you should be able to find easily (and cheaper) than from Pentax.
