Lithium Bats in K10D

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Oh yes, I wanted to add that this is a superb battery. With the A2,  
which is an EVF/LCD camera and therefore puts a greater drain on the  
battery when in use than a DSLR, I regularly get 600-800 exposures  
per charge. They also hold their charge exceptionally well ... I  
hadn't used the A2 for almost seven months, took it out and both  
batteries, topped up sometime before I put it away, were at nearly  
full charge still.
