I keep two batteries in my K10D all the time. No problems. But I always swap out both batteries at the same time. So I have four all together: two in the camera and two backup. Changing one and not the other is probably a bad idea. BTW, I always use two sets of batteries in the D with no problems. The trick is to start them both fully charged and change all of them when they become weak. With the D, I get about 2200 exposures on eight AA lithiums. Since the D is now my backup, the batteries that are currently in there will probably last until it gets replaced by the K1D.
Speaking of the D-BG 2, another great feature is the storage compartment for the IR remote and an extra SD card. You can't lose 'em that way.
