I have two third-party, and two pentax, batteries... they seem to work the same.
Once upon a time, my k-5 had mirror-flop disorder... in which the mirror would randomly and repeatedly actuate, rendering picture-taking impossible. (It was almost like blowing up!) There is some speculation that could be initiated by an over-charged battery disturbing the electrical ecosystem in the camera... I have no idea. It was never a problem in the k-7. But, I'd caution against over-charging the batteries... :) -c On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 6:58 PM, Brian Walters <apathy...@lyons-ryan.org> wrote: > I'm sure this has been discussed before but my memory isn't what it used to > be.... > > Is anyone using third party batteries in their K-7/K-5?
