Thank-you for this effort. Should be a sticky.

Thanks! I have added it to the list.

Battery D-LI90 with matching charger.

K-50 (with DA 40 XS) and battery holder D-BH109. This holder is suitable for the Kr, K-30, K50 and K500.

You made a big mistake, Pentax K-30 uses battery D-LI 109, 7.4V, 1050mAh battery and D-109 BC for Lithium-Ion Battery / / top photo is totally wrong for K-30 and adapter D-BH109 for rechargeable AA batteries as the lower photo correctly show for K-30

The first photo simply shows the D-LI90 + D-BC90. I don't say it's for the K-30.

I apologize Kobayashi.K , you put a picture with the camera adapter for AA batteries that corresponds to it and charger with lithium batteries in the same context that does not match with the camera, I thought the picture with lithium battery charger has to do with the attached photo cameras and other that mentioned: Kr, K-30, K50 and K500, sory wrong I understand your message, you be more precise next time ;-)

Out of curiosity I made an inventory which batteries are used on Pentax camera's, to see if there are any patterns. The list below is derived from the manuals on the Ricoh Japan web site. The Optio camera's are not included (too many of them). Pentax battery types. Oct 2013 \| K-3 \| D-LI90, AA Jun 2013 \| K-50 \| D-LI109, AA Jun 2013 \| K-500 \| D-LI109, AA Jun 2013 \| Q-7 \| D-LI68 Apr 2013 \| Ricoh GR \| DB-60, AAA Jan 2013 \| WG-3 \| D-LI92 Jan 2013 \| WG-10 \| D-LI92 Jan 2013 \| MX-1 \| D-LI106 Sep 2012 \| K-5 IIs \| D-LI90, AA Sep 2012 \| K-5 II \| D-LI90, AA Sep 2012 \| Q-10 \| D-LI68 Aug 2012 \| X-5 \| AA May 2012 \| K-30 \| D-LI109, AA Feb 2012 \| K-01 \| D-LI90 Feb 2012 \| Optio WG-2 \| D-LI92 Jun 2011 \| Q \| D-LI68 Feb 2011 \| Optio WG-1 \| D-LI92 Nov 2010 \| Ricoh GXR \| DB-90 Sep 2010 \| K-5 \| D-LI90, AA Sep 2010 \| K-r \| D-LI109, AA Mar 2010 \| 645D \| D-LI90 Feb 2010 \| X-90 \| D-LI106 Sep 2009 \| K-x \| AA May 2009 \| K-7 \| D-LI90, AA Mar 2009 \| X-70 \| D-LI92 Sep 2008 \| K-m (K2000) \| AA Jan 2008 \| K20D \| D-LI50 Jan 2008 \| K200D \| AA Jun 2007 \| K100D Super \| CR-V3, AA Jan 2006 \| ist DL2 \| CR-V3, AA Sep 2006 \| K10D \| D-LI50, AA May 2006 \| K110D \| CR-V3, AA May 2006 \| K100D \| CR-V3, AA Jun 2005 \| ist DL \| CR-V3, AA Aug 2005 \| ist DS2 \| CR-V3, AA Aug 2004 \| ist DS \| CR-V3, AA Feb 2003 \| ist D \| CR-V3, AA Sources: Operation Manuals Download : Support & Service \| RICOH IMAGING Startseite - RICOH IMAGING DEUTSCHLAND GmbH Digital Photography Review (Cameras \| Camera timeline) All batteries are of type Li-Ion. The standard CR-V3 battery is replaced by custom types in various configurations after 2007. It seems Pentax is trying to re-cycle a battery type for as many camera's as possible. An interesting series is K7, K5, K-01, K5-II(s), K3, all using the D-LI90. Another example is the D-LI92 which is first applied in the X-70 (2009) and later re-used in the WG's. A Pentax speciality is also that most camera's can adopt AA batteries, direct, with an optional battery holder, or with a battery grip. I think this is a strong point and well appreciated by many of us. This list can be used as is, but if you have any supplementary info or know-how's you can post here too.
