You probably mean the rechargeable CR-V3 batteries. Their voltage is usualy too high (3,3-3,7) and while some are using them without problems other fried their cameras with them due to high voltage. I wouldn't use rechargeable CR-V3 in K100D.
I would recommend AAs with low self discharge like Ready2use from Varta or Eneloops from Sanyo. The later last 500 shots + 300 shots with built in flash (tested with K100D on a wedding)
