Hi, False. Battery is a bettery and if it's manufactured OK, there's no problem. I bought a spare for my K10D last spring dirt-cheap from eBay.de (about 10 EUR incl. shipping from Germany to Estonia, absolutely no-name, labeled as Minolta NP-400 replacement). I tested tehe battery before I put it to camera (charged, drained, measured the temperatures etc.) and it's no worse than original D-LI50. K20D works also fine with the same battery. But of course, Pentax must say that we have to use original batteries. If they would say otherwise (yes, you can use whaterver fits the opening in your cameras), they should take a responsibility of EVERY possible single problem caused by some crap battery.
