I would suggest the setup and work flow I use.

I set 'Select battery' in Set-up menu 3/3 to 'Grip First'.
In usage this means that the body battery is ignored and the grip battery
John,
I don't usually notice the battery at half.
I shot 5-6 in continuous mode and noticed the battery go to half,
and then comeback up to full...although not for many more shots.
You really have to be aware.
I don't have the battery grip.
I carry a spare.

again and is good for 50+ shots.

That's normal behavior for all
Hi,
it's because of lithium-ion batteries itself are very non-linear. As
mentioned - if there's no controller inside (like Sony Info-Lithium
batteries do have), there's basically no proper method to check the
battery state. Pentax batteries are just pure Li-ion elements (and

K10D observation - I've got the BG-2 grip for the spare battery. For some
reason the K10D battery indicator doesn't show battery usage.
The indicator shows full

It's normal for all cameras that don't have Intelligent batteries (like the
Sony InfoLithiums and the Nikon EN-EL4 and EN-EL3e batteries) that can track
charge states.

I experience the same thing, but it seems to be with
batteries that were charged a few weeks earlier and
have sat around since. they don't take a new charge,
but also don't work as well as a freshly charged
battery.

The Panasonic L1 does a much better job at presenting a progressive
display of charge state than the Pentax K10D, and it doesn't have
much in way of intelligence in the battery that I'm aware of.
With the K10D, when I see it flickering between half and full, I
change battery if I'm working
The battery indicator is very non-linear.
The battery goes for hundreds of shots showing full charge.
If you watch, in the last 20 or 30 shots it goes to half charge.
You usually don't catch it showing half.
When it dies, everything goes blank.
Turning the camera off and on again is often good for
