Ha Ha being a pentax owner is definately a way of life compared maybe to the big 3 as it is now. But for all our hardships we own the very best of cameras £ for £ or $ for $ :+)

I didn't know that to be fair.

Sadly my third party grip doesn't but works perfectly with my K7 ha ha
Thanks :+)

I think even the original K1 used the battery too.

Thanks for the details here.
Yes I have a third party grip that works excellently on my K7 using the 109 insert. but this grip doesnt function correctly on my K5ii.
So I purchased a used Pentax BG4 this works like a dream but only came withh the AA insert and as I have a plethora of expensive 109's I was hoping to be able to purchase a tray. Alas the are rarer than hens teeth Ha ha :+)
At £30 for my genuine grip I cant argue so have purchased rechargable Aa batteries and charger.
I was hoping someone on here would know where I could purchase the tray, but it seems they just are not out there ha ha

Thanks for all the info good folks and the smiles. I have taken the advice re- AA's "DonV" I have purchased some good ones and a charger. I was hoping to bag a tray for the 109's as I have so many and they are expensive. Alas it was'nt meant to be, but happy to go with your advice. Charged em over night and are working great.
Very grateful for all the advice
Cheers all you good pentax folks

Hi thanks for checking in. I don't think they do last as long, but as the grip only cost £30 I'm happy to go with the flow. Strange that a tray for the 109 is hard to find though.
Take care
Thanks

Hi Thanks for replying, I tried the third party tray. it goes all the way in great, but won't lock.
There are no other issues wqith the grip, this time it works perfectly with my K5ii. As it only cost me £30 for a genuine used grip, I may have to just use AA's with it as finding the other tray sems impossile.
Cheers again
take care
Ian

Hi folks
As of a previous thread I purchased a second hand genuine BG4 grip and it works fabulously with my K5ii. So a big thank you for the sound advice. However the grip only has the AA battery tray. I have trawled the internet to try and find the
D-Li109 battery tray with no success.
I was wondering if you kind folks on the forum could help with any suggestions.
A big thank you in advance
Ian Bullivant

Hi good folk.
I wonder if you can help me with this please,
I have a DTSE BG4 Type battery grip that works great on my K7, but when I attach it to my second hand K5ii it does work but when you turn the on/off buttons to off the rear screen stays on as does the top screen, but the top screen is garbled.
Never experienced a problem with my pentax's for the last 16 years. Is the K5ii known for being glitchy. Here's hoping you guys can put some light on it.
Many thanks in advance
Ian 👍

Hi folks. I paired my fab generic K7 Battery grip with my new to me K5ii. It does work, the, issue is the camera glitches when you try to turn it off. The camera stays on until you uncouple it. Has anyone else experienced this to.
Hoping for a solution. Or is my camera faulty. Thanks all 👍
