I had a look on their site and they seem to have lots of options
Thanks for the plug. I'm a fan of Bristol Cameras and have bought my last three Pentax bodies and some other accessories from them.
The two batteries I have that now need replacing were part of the "bonus" packs that came with my K-70 and KP.
They even offered to replace the Jupio under warranty if I returned it to them … unfortunately shipment of "hazardous materials" from Jersey was very similar cost to that of a replacement battery!
Just thought I'd try a different brand, rather than any reflection on Bristol Cameras, who've always been totally reliable
I've had notification from the courier company that the battery is in transit
Exactly how Duracell Direct can sell a battery including courier delivery at those prices … one of the mysteries of the modern world!
If it lasts a year it'll still have been cheap … albeit probably not as cheap as a Pentax original, pro-rata.
PS : The battery arrived within 24hrs packaged as hazardous air freight!
Reports on overall battery performance and life will have to wait for now
