That's great, compatible to the NP-400. What's the model and output of the battery?

And how much does it cost?

The New K10D's battery. with 1650mmAh. stronger than NP400.

but when I replace NP400. I need to reset date & time and all my setting is gone. never experience this before. :dunno: :dunno:

If the battery is taken out to long the setting go back to default. I think the backup battery in camera is a rechargable one.

Can you charge the Pentax battery on the Minolta charger ?

The Pentax battery is named DLI-50 and can be used interchangeably in cameras and chargers. Output is 1650mAh.

Don't think the Pentax ones are available in stores yet. I expect them to cost $80-90.
Eastgear NP-400 are rated at 1800mAh and are selling for $35.

The NP400 compatible from Eastgear is overrated at 1800mAH. The most I ever got from that is around 1500maH. In any case, it does not outlast the original KM battery. I would suggest going to Sony Service Centre and order your original battery as "spare parts" for $38. They usually don't stock it, so you have to make 2 trips and it takes about 2 weeks to get it.

No idea how much DLI-50 cost.

I am quite happy that we can use DLI-50. I though we can't get any battery in future. ;p
