No idea about that. Anything that keeps the LCD illuminated or status display illuminated will consume battery power to a greater degree than nearly anything else, however. Perhaps you are not charging the batteries all the way? or have a less than perfect charger? I use a third party charger, from Impact again, rather than the Pentax charger because it plugs directly into the wall and also takes a power connection from the accessory jack in the car.
