Bill,
I have no experience with the battery grip or switching to the battery
there.
I have run the K7 on the battery 'down one mark', and have
even gotten it to down two marks (1/2 full?!?), but then it's time to
change.
I've only had one battery charge/change after 1,100 raw photos and
chimping.
I'm sure you've had a lot more.
The battery life seems excellent. With little or no chimping, expect better
than 1500 exposures from one battery. I don't know what the camera's
criteria is for when it switches batteries. I have my camera set to use the
grip battery to depletion and then switch to the body battery.
One thing I noted is that the K-7 doesn't seem to need to be shut off when
the first battery dies to make it switch over. The K10/K20 did. I prefer
that way as I then know when I've depleted the first battery.
