Backup battery for K10

Clarky · 2007-09-23T12:55:58+0100

Now that i have the K10 i am in the market for a couple of backup batteries. I wandered into a couple of my local camera stores to get some prices and expecting the worse. Well the worst hit me right between the eyes AUD$100. I thought the guy was kidding. Well after picking myself off the floor i jumped onto the computer and ran a search on E-bay and some of the prices sound too good to be true, Like 10bucks for a 1750mHa. Are these worth using, I suppose even if you get only half the amount of shots than the original Battery then you are still in front. But i don't want to put anything in the camera if there is a chance it will cause problems. Whats the consensus on this :? : :? :

I bought 2 off a well known tinternet auction site for £17.00! not each, for the pair! Well worth taking the risk for the price I thought.

7.4V 1750mAh label states PEN. D-Li50 and has same warning label as original, but does not state manufacturer.

Had no problems with them at all, last as long as original, seem to have been a good purchase, as the cheapest I've seen them for the GX10 otherwise is £39.00 (original ones).

Came from Hong Kong, favour_articles was the seller. 99.3% positive feedback, most drips seem to be about delivery - people not reading dispatch is from Hong Kong. I had no problem, came about 5 days after I paid.
