I've tried my Chinese grip on a K52S, and my Pentax grip on a K20, both with no battery in the camera, and it works. Even with the grips switched off the cameras power up.

If you cant get the battery out Iguess the cheapest solution will be a cheap chinese grip and new battery

You are quite wrong. I have BG's on my K20D, K-5, & K-5 II. None has a battery in the camera, only in the grip. It works perfectly and it saves having to remove the grip to change the camera battery.
I adopted this method long ago having noticed that the camera always seemed to misbehave when one battery became depleted. It seemed to me that the camera only chose which battery to use at switch on and wouldn't seemlessly swap battery use with power on.
