As an owner of both a K20D and a K-7 I can categorically state the the batteries are different and incompatible.
Both batteries are a similar size but the upper face of the K-7 battery is flat while the K20D battery has an indentation. The K-7 battery will therefore slide into the K20D but not the other way around. However this academic as the contacts on both batteries are in different places and don't line up. In addition the K20D battery only has two contacts whereas the K-7 battery has three as does their respective chargers.
My understanding is that the K-5 body shell is based on the K-7 and therefore share the same design of battery just as previously the K20D shared body shell and battery design with the K10D.

Am I being daft but I don't think there is any problem editing jpegs using the Pentax digital camera utility. I'm using V4.21 and it seems to work fine on recent images from my K-7 and older images from a *istDS and a K20D.
I usually only shoot jpegs although always on the super 4 star quality setting and normally use Photoshop Elements for my photo editing but the Pentax software has the bonus of allowing you to adjust the white balance.
While I tend to only use the Pentax software for white balance adjustment I have just had a quick play and it looks like most of the other tools that come up with the laboratory tab work fine as well on jpegs with perhaps the exception of "map" because I can't work out what that is supposed to do. On some of them you have to make sure you have ticked the 'apply' box.
Tools under Custom Image, Exposure/Tone, White Balance, Noise Reduction, Lens aberration correction and Rotate/Shift all seem to make changes to a jpeg image with the exception of "Random noise reduction" which is greyed out.
All these tools appear to be mainly adjusting the camera settings so I would still want another decent photo editor for general image manipulation.
Hope this helps,
