I feel for you. I don't have battery problems but I do have a 18-250
Pentax lens that has a lock on the lens. Well it will decide to get
locked in the 18 and I can not expand it out and other times it works as
it should. I got it used from KEH and of course it decided to act up
after their 6 month warranty ran out. I was curious to know how much
they would charge to fix it and it was going to be more than I paid for
the lens. Needless to say I haven't bought anything from them again
because of my experience with this lens. I just took it out of my
camera bag to see if it is working and at the moment it is working but I
can't trust it to work when I need it to work.
Like you it has been a couple of weekends since I have gotten out with
my camera. It won't be this weekend because of rain with a slight chance
of snow.

I have somehow managed to lose my spare D-LI90 batteries.
In the meanwhile, I went over to my local Pentax dealer and bought two
more. Got them home and discovered one of them was a D-LI109 which
won't fit the K-1 or the D-BC90 charger. (Note, I didn't even try to
put it on the charger)
No problem, Southeastern Camera is only 1.5 miles from my house. So I
jumped in the car and headed over to exchange the D-LI109 for a
D-LI90. Got home with the correct battery, put it on the charger & the
green LED is blinking. The other battery (on the other charger) has a
solid green.
Check the manual & it says if the LED is blinking to replace the battery.
I called Southeastern & he's got another D-LI90 in stock, but I'm not
going back there again tonight.
I think this is all a symptom of a bigger problem, I've lost my muse.
I haven't really felt like getting out with the camera for several
months now. If I'd been shooting regularly, I'd know where those other
spare batteries had got to, because I'd be using them.
Additionally, I had to buy two new SD cards for the K-1 because I had
all three cards (Slot 1, Slot 2 & spare in the battery grip) filled up
and hadn't downloaded them. Can't shoot with full cards.
I did have a spare, unopened 64GB 300x Lexar card I bought during East
Coast School in June. I tried to get matching cards, but found out
Lexar went out of business.
Finally, I looked at a used SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED WR lens,
but looking it up on the internet, it's apparently an APS-C only lens.
I didn't notice the vignetting when I looked at the two test shops I
took while I was in the in the store, but now that I'm home and looked
again, it's pretty obvious and severe.
DRAT! He has a pretty good price on it too.
