When I got my K-5 I tried using AAs in the battery grip while thr
main battery was charging (just to get the camera setup done, of
course :-)
With rechargeable NiMH batteries out o
I switched the battery grip to use the standard camera battery.
Six AA's just don't seem to do the job, while the body battery lasts forever.

I tried using NIMH with the battery grip on both the K-5 and K-7, but found it
pointless. The lithium ions are far superior and provide far more exposures.

Thanks for that info Herb. My charger was the one that came with the
batteries, and while it tops up 4 2500mah in 2 hours, it doesn't have an
individual LED per cell. Sounds like it would have been useful though. I've
been playing

it hang while doing a long RAW exposure. I'll probably have to observe how
my Inca's fare, and will let you know when it's more concrete.

Hi,
The nearest I can find is a GP60AAHHB, which is a 2/3 AA size,
0.6Ah cell. Max charge 60mA for 14 hours. Manufacturer seems
to be called either Green Charge or Green Power. The writing on
the Ebay ones seems to be far eastern.

2/3AA won't fit. Well, are we still talking about batt
I'm guessing they would be better than nicads but the
real draw back of the nimh is when they die they just
die, not like alkalines where they gradually drain
away these won't power the flash at all once drained
and there is no warning. I'd say borrow them and see.

You'll still have to carry several sets with you, unless you have a way to
recharge them on locatiom. if so, you may get by with only two sets.
Rechargeables do solve the problem of having to buy a lot of new batteries
but they don't solve the problem of having to change batteries during the

Some older equipment does not have a current limiting
resistor in series with the batteries. Alkalines have a high
internal resistance and don't require an external current
limiting resistor. Without one Nicad can fry the circuits.
Most newer equipment has that resistor.

I don't know the cons and I have used NiMH batteries in several
devices whose manuals did not say it was allowed to do so. In manuals
accompanying older equipment manufacturers sometimes warned against
use of NiCd batteries and I would say that the same would apply to
newer NiMHs. Perhaps one
AFAIK, NiMH batteries can be used to replace any NiCad betteries. As long as
the equipments can handle NiCad, they can handle NiMH.
