I use lithium AAs in both the camera and the grip. I get more than
2000 exposures on a set and no problems.

Recently I picked up a used ist D, usually I use my card reader to
transfer pics but recently when I connected it with the USB cable I
discovered a problem. There seems to be connection problem. Unless
I hold the cable in it won't connect. I don't know if the faults in
the cable or in
Cables are generally more likely to be a problem than anything else.
That said, I've almost never connected any of my cameras to a
computer, I always use a card reader.
Pentax USA can certainly supply you with a replacement cable. I would
stick with an OEM original.

Evan,
If you have a USB 2 connection on your computer and a
USB 2 card reader, there is no reason to use the cable
from the camera--unless you like s-l-o-o-o-w transfers
(45 min to 1 h for a 2 gig card full of pix) and
running the camera's battery down.

Try the higher voltage lithium batteries like the ones that came with
the camera. Are you running it with a micro-drive CF card, or solid
state? That can also drain the batteries faster. Using the flash can
do the same thing.
