The K-r will take AA batteries in a pinch. She could use four standard
alkaline batteries to just power it up to do the update if she has the
battery carrier, or she could use disposable lithiums if she needs the
camera while waiting for the battery, one again, if she has the carrier.

My Mrs has a friend with a K-R and she uses rechargeable batteries. She
went to recharge the batteries out of the camera and upon reinserting
them found the camera will not power up.
Stand-by troops, found the issue.
Put a voltmeter across the battery terminals and there's barely half a volt in
the bugger after a spell on the charger.
She's ordering a new battery.
I did say that getting nearly 8 years out of a Li-Ion battery is pretty good
value for money.....
