Has anyone used Rechargeable CRV-3 Li-Ion ?

Atindra · 09-01-2009, 05:05 AM

I am considering to buy Rechargeable CRV-3 battery for my Pentax K100D. I tried with disappointment when I bought Mobius's RCRV-3 and its charger. After a couple of cycles they failed to work.
Now I am considering Kodak KLIC-8000 rechargeable battery and its charger. I used about a year ago Kodak's CRV-3 in my K100D and worked great but that was not rechargeable.
Now I am wondering if this rechargeable option would work with my dslr or not?

I used MobyPower RCR-V3s in my K100D Super. Got them & the charger from Thomas Distributing. My Daughter still uses it. (I've got a K20D.) The batteries are now 22 months old and still going strong.

DealExtreme: $11.57 Kodak CRV3 Compatible Battery (3.6V 1360mAh Li-Ion)

I got a couple of these on order (you can get a charger from dealextreme as well) at the moment. They seem to get decent reviews and Pisen is meant to be a good brand. You might have to wait a bit for a reliability test fro me though - especially as the K100 is now demoted to a backup+timelapse body
