Nah, I was ordering the K-01 anyway and just used the chat to check on this that I had ordered first as it had never updated past saying 'On Order" since last week....

I'm kinda bummed since I saw a few posts on here saying that people recieved theirs...checked via live chat today and they did not have enough to fill my order so I'm getting a a k-01 with the 40mm instead so I guess it kinda worked out can't wait for it to get here....

Yea, looking at them again this morning its probably not so much the shape, but the fact that the label wrapper extends farther out up and over the indented edge at the ends of the battery as opposed to laying down inside it like the factory ones, but with post_ eos's comments of them swelling and having crappy life too I still think its best to steer clear. Even though they appear to be a deal coming up as the fourth recommendation and cheapest on amazon in a search for "Pentax D-LI68".

Thanks for the verification, I was getting some weird battery indication levels when using it too back and forth between 3/4's green, then yellow then red, then back to green but only got maybe two dozen shots before it kicked off the camera as depleted, figured it was just cause I hadn't used em or cycled them thru the charger in a awhile but seems like the are just junk.
I'll have to try out the wasabi's they seem to be getting good feedback and seem to be deal for the international adaptable charger alone....

Well at near midnight its a bit hard to "Buy real gear and you wont have to worry about the lack of oxygen." When the nearest Pentax store to me is 127miles away....
Was just sharing some insight I gained and attempting to add to the knowledge base of the community based on equipment I already had on hand and that is out there being listed as a compatible replacement for the Pentax D-LI68....hopefully some of the other viewers or lurkers to the forum find it helpful as I know lurking and learning on these forums is why I chose to buy into the Pentax brand.

Have had my Q for a few days now and today I switched in some generic batteries I've had from my Kodak Zi8 which uses the Klic 7004 type battery that some listings on amazon list as interchangeable with the the D-LI68. I figured the slightly higher mAh rating would've been an improvement but nearly gave myself a heartattack when the battery failed to eject from the battery compartment, luckily some gentle tapping was enough to start it sliding out but just wanted to post this with a pic to advise some caution if anyone tries these type generics that have slightly squarer edges to them. The name brand Kodak Klic 7004 is an exact match in size and power ratings and perfect backup though and a little cheaper too than Pentax brand.
