What matters is the weight of the battery if the manufacturer is playing honest game. Cheapo Bling Lazer clones with 5000mAh often weight less > fail.

I have a couple of random brandless ebay-batteries that still hold a decent charge after more than five years so if youre lucky you are lucky.

Also I have an original battery from K-7 that cannot be distinguished from my newer Pentax batteries from other than the label saying Hoya corporation instead of Ricoh corporation so I guess that makes my earlier statement invalid

I've only ever purchased OEM batteries, but the ones I bought since my time with the K5 still hold their charges and last ages. Mind you, I don't go shooting that often, but the fact they hold their charge for so long just shows how reliable they are.

I have had these amazon.com : Wasabi Power Battery for Pentax D-LI90 : Digital Camera Batteries : Camera & Photo?tag=pentaxforums-20& for about two years and they work great with zero problems.

I found my wasabi like 2/3 the charge of OEM and they go from full bar to nothing in a flash (which is terrible for battery management in the field). Also I've had flickering screens and other oddness going on with 3rd party batteries. Also 3rd lifespans are terrible, I am still using my 1st party batteries but I've had several off brands dead already. Its a false economy to use 3rd party batteries.

I have multiple OEM batteries and the Wasabi

have no problems but then I replace batteries often and use the battery grips for the K 3 and K 3 II so I have back up available
