Can anyone recommend options for third-party batteries for Pentax? I'm specifically referring to the D-Li90 type used in pretty much everything from the K-7 up to the K-1.
There are a lot of options out there with varying specifications and user reports vary even more wildly. One resourceful buyer who wrote an Amazon review actually measured the discharge rate of a so-called 2100mAh battery and found it to be around 1100mAh. Mind you, for less than $10.00 that would still be an attractive alternative to the $50.00 Pentax OEM battery if I did all my work in the studio! But when trekking through Yorkshire on the Pennine Way in May I'd like to get longer battery life than that; I'm planning on carrying two batteries - one in the camera and one in my pack - and recharging every night. I'm not a machine gunner so even with GPS on that should work out if battery life is reasonable. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
