Comments about K100D's with incorrect battery alarms were posted by a fellow from Europe (Nederlands) in the dreaded and non-searchable DPR Pentax DSLR Forum. Like Cideway, I recall the posts.
I've got ENergizer 2500's that seem ro be fully charged and won't take 6 shots before the low-battery icon lights up. I've got many other niMH AA's that won't even allow the camera to power up coming out of a charger, but run other digicams. You need either something like the Sanyos or lithiium batteries or regukated RCRV3's.
