Lithium Bats in K10D

[Thibouille]

Shel, a guy at the Pentax booth at Photokina told me (and was not
supposed to so I won't say his name) that those batteries for the K10D
are the same as Minolta **-400. Don't remind the first letters but
according to the quick search I did on google they may be NP-400 which
you should be able to find easily (and cheaper) than from Pentax.
