Interval shooting worked just fine when I was on 1 minute intervals. But maybe the camera was auto focusing over the 8 hour session?... I'll check it again another time. But would like to hear from more people about interval shooting. It's a great extra feature to have for the Pentax.
Okay so I checked again and have found the battery to last ~500 shots or 6 hours which every comes first.

I have found that battery life is terrible when using the K-r's interval shooting function. The camera seems to use a fair bit of charge during the entire session rather than sleeping and waking up to take a photo. What I've ended up with is a mere 16 photos over 8 hours and a depleted battery while using 30 minute interval shooting. Auto review is off so I'm not sure where all that missing charge is going. It seems Interval shooting taxes battery life unnecessarily and maybe the future FW will fix it. But for normal use the battery (D-LI109) gets about 400 shots before it needs a charge.
