Thanks for the tip, will have to give that a try.
I thought I'd read people recommending to use only the Sanyo charger, but maybe this will work better. I hope so! Thanks again.
EDIT: Well darn, looks like that Duracell charger is out of production.

I use the Energizer Ultimate Lithiums and love them. I have had bad luck with Eneloops after initially loving them. (Yes, I set the battery setting correctly in the menu) Eneloops just don't seem to last long for me. Initial use, they do fine. Then, after charging a few cycles with the Sanyo charger, I get less and less out of them. I'm just not impressed.
The Energizer lithiums give me over 1200 shots, using plenty of flash and even some live view. I love them and would much rather use them then constantly recharge the Eneloops.
Now, as for the OP's problem ... not sure. I have noticed that the battery indicator can be incorrect at times. I just keep shooting and the camera keeps working. I've gotten to the point where I pay no attention to the battery life indicator. I replace the battery when it says battery depleted or when I notice AF being off. The K-r's battery indicator is sketchy at best.
