arrived from B&H the other day. When I opened them I had a really good laugh. Anybody from DPR remember the "Petnax" threads?

I think someone was in a real hurry to get these things out the factory door.

I must still be half asleep. I don't understand what you are trying to communicate.

Only thing that 'bugs' me is that they call them D-L150 (Dee EL one-fifty) when they are really D-LI50 (Dee EL EYE fifty). I suspect that 'EL Eye' stands for 'Lithium Ion'.

Missed the misspelling. Good catch!

Pentax is mis-spelled.. that is rather funny! Who could miss that?

Nesster · 12-14-2006, 06:57 AM

Yeah, does that mean "Pant Ax" or "Pan Tax"?

Don't we still write Petnax when we feel the need?
Impact Pantax... I notice they are 1700 mAh, the same capacity as the Sterlingtek equivalents.

Nothing wrong with Petnax gear. I use it since years. Here a pic of the ist D I had.

I should say of course, it has no ... "impact" on their performance (sorry guys, I couldn't resist). They work just fine in the camera.

I'll receive a "Pantax" battery for Christmas (I know because I just sneaked a look into the box from B&H that contains my presents). I assume that the Pentax (note the "e") supplied charger will work with the Impact??

Thanks,

Jerry

I bought 2 of them and a charger, so I could charge 2 at a time. The Pentax charger charges them just fine.

Thanks, I'll charge mine up as soon as my wife hands the battery over on Dec 25.
