stuck said:I've tried two overnight charges n both failed. I've since tried several charges, but the light always goes off after a short while. Probably try to bring it into manly tmr.
Anybody else who use this battery have the same problem? Should I bring it back to Manly for an exchange??
No such issue, thoguh I have noticed that the battery doesn't last quite as long as the original battery. Maybe 70%. It may also be my imagination, but this gets even worse when Live View is used.
If you compare the 3rd party battery to the original Pentax, you'll notice the original one fits snuggly on the charger whereas the 3rd party ones are a bit loose. Maybe try checking if the contact points are align properly on the charger.
well but for 1/3-1/4 of the cost of the original I'm sure you're not complaining! haha

Manly is okay, Eugene and the boss Peter are pretty nice. As to the battery, I think it's okay. All battery cells came from Japan, just packaging different. You can give it a try and see how it performs. Better yet, report back after your trial, so others can benefit
Just an update from me,the first battery bought have charging issue..on the first charge,the charger green light on for 1 hour or so and it goes off,so went down to manly and get it exchanged,the 2nd battery which i gotten also have the same issue,may i know what might be the issue here?anyone facing the same problem?thanks in advance
Recently just order another K5 space battery from dealextreme again.
So far the first spare battery still going strong.
Fully charged, at last can take 700+, infact most of the time I'm using the spare battery, hardly need to use my original pentax
Second order is iSmart, the voltage seem a little lower.
