I've never used one of their chargers but I've got a spare Watson
Battery for the K-5II, it's probably the best aftermarket battery I've
ever used. For comparison the Flashpoint Li50 I picked up for the K20D
while having a higher nominal power rating lasts about half as long
shooting as the original Pentax battery, the Watson, well it seems to
hold more power than the Pentax though rated slightly lower. If their
batteries are any guide...

I have an after-market charger for the K10D/K20D batteries that plugs
into the cigarette lighter socket in my car. I'm looking into something
similar for the K-3.
I ran across this charger at B&H:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/837324-REG/watson_d_3704_duo_lcd_charger_f_pentax.html
It has the adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter socket. It also
has interchangeable plates, so I could use it to charge both D-LI90 &
D-LI50 batteries ...

... and if the putative Full-Frame Pentax DSLR uses still another
battery, I could probably find a plate to fit it as well.
Does anyone on the list have experience using the Watson charger,
especially in a mobile environment?
