A pair of R-CR-V3's worked very well but, freshly charged, they could deliver 7.4V which apparently fried the camera electronics in some cases. This led to the Pentax warning. Nevertheless, many 1stD & K100D owners still used them successfully without incident. A workaround was a single

In the 90s someone went so far as to create a Z1-p battery grip that was only that - a power source with no controls that allowed the use of AA rechargeables. It was only ever a prototype, though. > On 13 May 2019 at 19:15 John wrote: > > > It would have had to have been 4 AA batteries. >

It would have had to have been 4 AA batteries. Are you sure it was the PZ-1/PZ-1p? The 2CR5 battery is shorter than AA batteries. I don't see how AA batteries would fit into the battery compartment. On 5/13/2019 13:23:23, Ken Waller wrote: I had a Pentax part that was a replacement 'end

I had a Pentax part that was a replacement 'end cap', replacing the original battery cover, that allowed me to use 3 or 4 'AA' (not sure if it used 3 or 4 )batteries. The 'AA' batteries didn't give the life of the 2CR5 battery but I could always find 'AA' batteries. Kenneth Waller
