There's no need to discharge a lithium ion battery before charging.
Not needed.

Sebastião Salgado has solar chargers for his 645D gear.

A DSTE Battery I linked to on ebay in another post has a car charger included.

I've used the DSTE charger off the mains and it's excellent. RED LED for charging and GREEN LED when done. Doesn't wait around either when you put a battery on that's already charged it goes straight to GREEN.

It's been well known since film days that true colours are very DULL and they had to be made more vibrant to be accepted by the public. Pentax colours are generally acceptable straight out of the camera.

You can get Test Cards and software that will correct both RAW and JPG colours to a known standard. e.g. QPCARD

It means the seller is very dodgy Pentax don't use any checks to see if the battery is genuine or not. Plus the photo shows 1900mAh and the listing shows 2800 mAh Which is correct?

DSTE have a very good name and you can deal with them direct.....

£12.99 for battery and a very good charger.

Ebay_Link

OR 2 batteries for same price

I would call it the Pentax 3K to let people know what you paid for it
