I have a Pearstone charger for D-Li90’s. The same basic charger is sold with various slide-in clip-in battery cradles for various battery styles. The unit plugs directly into the wall with fold-out prongs - no messy cords to cope with. I’ve used this for a least a couple of years with no issues. Charging speed compared to OEM? I have no idea. I put the battery in, eventually it is ready, I take it out and repeat as needed with additional batteries.But I don’t think it is appreciably slower than the Pentax charger. Do the D-Li90’s get as completely charged? Over-charged? Do they hold the charge as long? Again, I have no idea. That is why I carry spare batteries so I needn’t worry about such details. My spares are mostly OEM with 1-2 3rd party purchased via B&H IIRC. Never any issues. The only non-Pentax that I can lay my hands on at the moment is labeled Watson, 7.4v, 1800mAh.
