Originally posted by Docrwm A lot of us have found these Wasabi batteries to be excellent and far less expensive. I like the 2 pack as it comes with a much more useable charger than the official Pentax one with the cord.
+1. The Wasabi bundle of a charger plus 2 batteries is around $25 USD on Amazon. The batteries work with either charger, so for $25 you end up with 3 total batteries and 2 chargers. The original Pentax battery costs $45, and in the end you only have 2 batteries and 1 charger.
Edit: I just peeked at Amazon UK. Only one 3rd party seller and they want 99
pounds! Maybe Wasabi is known by another badge name in UK?
