Not to worry -
stick with 1.03, since you don't really have an option anyway....
however be consoled that there have to be many others here and elsewhere who have upgraded to 1.03 and
DON'T have battery issues.
As for the eneloop charger the dealer may be partially right -
there are definitely good Sanyo eneloop chargers
but there are also ones that "work" but may not be so good.
Please see my previous post

Help with battery problem on K-x (
1 2)
FWIW - My experience with batteries in the K-x has shown:
full
Green lasts for about 1/3 (33%) usage -
half
Orange first shows when there is still about 2/3 (66%) capacity left -
empty
Red shows when there is about 1/6 (16.7%) capacity left.
(I am on firmware version 1.01.00.07; and now on shot count of over 57,000 -
so that is from 49 changes of batteries)
Changing the batteries as soon as
Orange shows -
means that one is only using about 1/3 the potential capacity -
put it another way -
there are about twice as many shots left in the batteries.
