As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I also bought a set of Energizers with charger. I chucked the batteries as being next to useless but still use the charger with the Eneloops. I get very acceptable performance with the *istDS and K200D but I probably don't shoot as much as many others. It looks like there is a specific issue with the K-x. Having said that, I was very impressed with the life of the non-rechargeable Lithiums that came with the K200D.
