I am looking for a multiple-battery charger for K7 and K20D batteries.

I now have 4 batteries to charge and only 1 charger for each type of battery. Not a very big problem but rather a nuisance.

It might not exist (most likely doesn't) but one that could charge both batteries, either at once (multiple battery-type charger) or at least 2 at a time of the same type.

Utopia?

Thanks.

shat surprises me, is that pentax could have made the K7 charger do both types.

I have a K10 and K7 and the same problem, normally not an issue, one is always charged fully as a back up, the other in the camera, and they get swapped when the in camera one dies, but if you do a lot of shooting, you might need both in a day, and that is a bother. also when traelling I would like to take as few chargers as possible, Let me see, 1 for the K7, one for the K10, one for flash batteries, one fo r the computer, one for the cell phone, one for the ipod,.......

This new battery/charger for the K7 is a departure from what we are used to use with the K10D/K20D, that's for sure.
It would have been really nice to have one charger for all!

Now, with two different grips and two different sets of batteries, I find myself doing a lot of shuffling.
That is the reason why I am searching for the impossible: a charger which would allow me to charge both types of battery at once, preferably two at a time ... or more!
