I stand by what I advised!

Just spend 2 minutes on amazon, you can get Hybrio batteries for a good price. We have a set of both types in the house and believe me they work just as well as each other.
Those GP efforts are a waste of time!

Do yourself a favour, and the camera for that matter, and order the real things, and don't skimp on a couple of quid thinking batteries labelled under the same catagoy are all equal.
Sanyo Eneloop or Uniross Hybrio WILL make a difference!

Good luck!

The link I gave includes p&p so they are very reasonably priced.

Amazon does not deliver to Ireland.

I had no luck at all with Energizer rechargeable or alkaline batteries. Rayovac Hybrid rechargeable lithium ion batteries resolved the problem convincingly, for no more money than regular Energizer rechargeables.

Here's something else to consider. I bought one from the same fellow for my K100D Super and it's been great. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/battery-grip-for-Pentax-K100D-super-K110D_W0QQitemZ130250454063QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130250454063&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Eneloops are among the best, they should give you between 400-700 photos (depending on flash use). But you need quality charger too.

Even better, longer lasting option (but more risky, if you buy cheap-noname product) is RCR-V3 lithium battery. I am using Hähnel product for almost two years now, regardless Pentax don't recommend it. I have no problems, just more shoots. And quicker AF.

........But a lot of companies selling in Amazon / UK do!! Try "Takken Group" group for example.

I live in Spain and with a couple more minutes of looking often find a seller who can ship to places like Spain and Ireland!!

Just type in Hybrio or eneloop on the forum search and you'll see time and time again, these (and I stress not GP or similar) batteries have so many positive feedback!

Good luck!

Any experience with Vapex?
