K10D expected battery life ...

Oh yes: just noticed that I was on exposure 894 with the K10D, I charged the battery once when I opened the box. The battery indicator flickered to the "half" indication briefly, then returned to full indication afterwards. I'm expecting a full charge will normally net 1000-1200 exposures.
