Do not buy from pixmania_uk!
(1 out of 5) by Thomas R. B. Partridge on Jun 23, 2007 (UK)pixmania_uk shipped me an eForce battery (1400mAh) as opposed to the Pentax branded (1620mAh) described. This alone is frustrating because I specifically spent extra for the Pentax branded battery and the reassurance that comes with using a Pentax battery in my very expensive Pentax camera. I could have had 3 non-Pentax batteries for the same price as this one.
Anyway, when I contacted pixmania_uk to detail my problem (and the fact that I was about to go to on holiday and so my need for the correct battery was time critical) they simply sent me back a standard email with a stupidly complicated returns procedure (obviously to deter me from returning the item) and so I left with no choice but to take this battery away with me as a spare.
I'm sorry to put a poor rating on a product that is probably fine, but a note needs to be on this page to alert people that if you order this battery from pixmania_uk, you will NOT get a Pentax battery.

Geniune Pentax Battery is Exceptional
(5 out of 5) by Gadget Fan on Jul 14, 2009 (London)I've got two of these for Pentax K10d and they are very, very good. Given the other review I recommend that you buy direct from Amazon.
Sometimes I do not use my camera for months or weeks at a time and the battery appears to hold its charge very well. I take a lot of photos when I do use my camera and, despite these batteries being over 2 years old, the times I find myself re-charging them are few and far between.
Only twice have I needed to actually use the spare battery. Even when the camera is telling me their is no charge left they still go on for several shots.
Make sure you get genuine batteries, and you will be pleased.
