Just think yourself lucky with Pentax you have the choice, Nikon D5100 D7000 D800 etc. You can only use genuine batteries; the “chip” has not been copied for the non-Nikon ones.
EN-EL14 (D5100) around £40
EN-EL15 (D7000-D 800) £65 +
At least Nikon have control over recalling faulty batteries.Just think yourself lucky with Pentax you have the choice, Nikon D5100 D7000 D800 etc. You can only use genuine batteries; the “chip” has not been copied for the non-Nikon ones.

Jan. 1984 the UK photo industry was probably still in recession
and some dumping was probably going on
Zooms were all the rage around that time and the 50mm f/1.4 sounds
like it was being dumped. Evidence of the lack of interest in prime
lenses is that the A 135mm f/2.8's are very rare on the SH market
nowadays so they mustn't have sold well due to most zooms covering
135mm.

Is it the one that doesn't have f/1.4 on the aperture ring.
I've got the Porst K version as well as the Tomioka f/1.2 M42
version.
All excellent lenses.

There used to be a program for computer backups to VHS Tape
Norton Backup for floppies used to span several disks with the
backup, but if on restore it found a damaged file it used to
come to an abrupt halt with a large message popup telling
you that it had found a faulty file and couldn't proceed.
The popup covered the filename so you couldn't run restore
again leaving out that filename
DVD-RAM disks are good, but the drives that take the cartridges
are hard and expensive (£100+)to find.
I do a binary printout of my important stuff and chisel
0010011100100100 etc. onto the walls of a local cave

260V GUN! Surprised the camera didn't melt
Stick to below 12V
Buy whatever Pentax flash you can afford on ebay and bin or sell
the Hanimex... only worth about £7.
