Spare Battery for K10D

**Sailor** · 12-02-2006, 01:42 PM

I noticed that B&H is out of spare batteries for K10D's. Anybody seen these things available elsewhere yet?

Thanks,

Jerry

Aussie shipment arrives after 17th December

I am waiting for that one actually. Though minolta battery is compatible for k10d too, hence it would be cheaper.

I did note that k10d battery last a long time storing a lot of charge!

Wouldn't it be nice if all the manufacturers got together and decided to standardise their batteries? *sigh* Never gonna happen.

the minolta's have a lower MAh rating..less power..tho cheaper.....just gonna wait out for the standard battery..(one thing I will not mess w/ i've had one too many electronic equipment mess on me due to battery issues...)
Calumet said that they would get a shipment of batteries and the grip around Dec. 11. WIlloughby's mid dec, but now date...not even gonna get into Adorama..and b and h is too far for me to walk to for lunch

I went looking for a NP400 locally, as a back up, and found them to be non existent in the area. I've been told that they are discontinued. I guess I'll wait for B&H to get the Impacts back in stock.

True, you would get 8% fewer shots per cahrge for 1/5 the price of Pentax NP-400.

Here's some rated higher than pentax
