K3 II Battery Life and GPS
I am looking for some feedback on people's battery life with the k3ii. Ideally with gps on, but without it would also be useful. The manual suggests 720 shots per battery, but I assume this is with GPS turned off.
I am hoping to upgrade to the k3ii before my next trip which will include a 10 day hike with no charging opportunites.
I am currently using a k30 with the o-gps. I get about a day and a half gps tagging using an eneloop aaa battery in the o-gps and around 600 shots with the dli90 battery or around 1000 with 4 aa eneloops.
Obviously I will need a fair number of batteries for the k3ii for this trip, but your feedback will enable me to make a judgement on how many I'd need. (most likely 3rd party DSTE as I am in the UK)
The other option is the grip so I could use my aa batteries, but I've read there have been some problems with using aa eneloops in the grip using the original k3 (only getting a handful of shots with aa eneloops, but much better with lithium aa)
Another possibility is using a powerbank and a usb charger, just trying to find the thread and forum member that does this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
David.
