Dear Larry we bought 2 #s DSTE batteries along with a Universal Travel
Charger for $ 17.99 with Free shipping from evil bay - August 2016.
The batteries are working fine, and I would say as good as the Pentax
original. With the third recharge it lasted perhaps as much as 90% of
the original.
The best deal is the Charger - has pins for direct plug-in to the
wall socket - no messy cables - the top plate can slide out to take
plates from all Pentax Battery Models as well as from Canon, Nikon,
Sony, Fuji, Panasonic etc. Great design.
Charges pretty fast and has auto cut off.
In 2014 we bought the same DSTE x 2 #s from Amazon - $ 12.99. They too
are working great.
Claimed mAh is pretty crazy and false. Here is a good test. If the 3rd
party battery weighs as much as the Pentax original then it will hold
1600 to 1800 mAh.
Why I say this? I won a bid from ebay Canada for a no name brand DLI
90 for CAD 2.20 with Free shipping. It was surprisingly very light -
about half the weight of the original. But hey, it still works albeit
with just 1/4 staying power.
Regards.
