That's great!

I also bought one from Manly.
Got bad service though... they think i look like a kid so try to trick me into buying more stuffs, i kept rejecting and in the end the sales person asked me to pay "GST" for the battery
Is the dealxtreme one divipower as well armadillo? If this is the one (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29921), the packaging seems to be different.
Just a question, I understand that the K-7/K-5 will only use one battery at a time when two batteries are equipped (via vertical grip)
Does it use the battery in the grip first or in the body first?
Anyway I feel like getting one of those higher capacity third party batts, I hate running low on battery!
sorry for digging up this old thread. Recently bought this battery as a spare for my k5 from manly. But the battery doesn't seem to charge properly!
the light on the charger lights up when I first put in the battery, but I notice it then goes off after a short while (30-60s). Not thinking too much abt it I leave the charger plugged in overnight thinking it'll be fully charged by the next day. But when I put in the battery the camera won't even start. Thinking there was a problem with the first charge somehow, repeated the charging again by leaving the battery plugged in overnight. This time round the camera turned on but the battery indicator show very low charge.
That was when I tried it with my almost depleted original pentax battery, & noticed that the green light stayed lit as long as the battery was not fully charged. After charging the pentax battery overnight, the camera indicated that the battery was fully charged, therefore there is nothing wrong with the charger. Anybody else who use this battery have the same problem? Should I bring it back to Manly for an exchange??
