Originally posted by wll Pentax customer service said that you need a rating of 2500 to be reliable, she was VERY emphatic about that.
She stated use Lithiums or a rechargeable with at least a 2500 rating ... Period
That was her statement even though Pentax Germany ships the K-x with eneloops and charger ??
There are many folks that are having trouble with eneloops also. My Rayovacs work in all my cameras and last forever it seems, these cameras are K200D, Ds, along with Canon's and Panasonic Point and shoots I own.

Try livechat, they might be smarter
Also, if you check the president of pentax imaging's blog post on batteries, he uses eneloops...
The many folks are in one area, there are many more folks without the problems with these batteries - the difference between its performance with known batteries is too large to not consider it a bad batch.
Again, on my duracell white top pre-charged, I got over 2000 shots with some video and LV.
