The "pathway" through the Billingham bag is the same though.
Seriously though... Rotation systems were essential for eneloop rotation when I had a K-x but I also always turned one upsidedown in the case when they were spent....

Shouldn't be much of an issue unless you're the forgetful type...
Note to self... Buy sandwich bags to store bateries in...

It's a digital camera... At a time when the company that made it is releasing an upgrade... They're never 'worth' what we 'paid' when the time to sell comes around...
I understand you wanting to re-coup what you spent but look at the market... You might have to take a small hit...

The first is a very good portrait.

55 quid for the Pentax
30 quid the Hama
the Maxsima as recomended by CMW comes out at just over a tenner http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxsima-Battery-Li-replacement-warranty/dp/B004BLLZQM/re...=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I'm pretty poor right now so will most likely go for the cheapest option...
Thanks again
Dave

You might try the Maxsima battery available on Amazon. Unlike some of the others offered as 'replacements', it has the same capacity as the Pentax branded battery. I've used one for two years interchangeably with my Pentax one. In terms of performance the two seem indistinguishable to me.

How do they justify these kind of prices??... It's a battery...
The Pentax battery I have seems to last forever so a second one is really 'just in case'... I'll charge it once a month and leave it in the bag but for the most part just use the pentax one....
Wish the K5 had an AA-tray option like the K-r does as I always have eneloops for flashes (still have 4 sets - gave 2 sets up with the K-x when I sold it)
