Yep, decent batteries are not cheap. The Pentax D-LI50 is the one you want, and I use one in my SD1M. They are scarce now, since the current bodies use the D-LI90 type. However, I've had great performance from my Wasabi brand batteries from Amazon, both for the SD1M and the DP-series (where you need 4 or more in your pockets to shoot for half a day!).

I got the Pentax DLI50 roughly about six years ago when I wanted an extra battery for my SD14, the performance is roughly the same as the sigma battery, marginally longer lasting. At the time I think the Pentax was a good bit cheaper than a replacement Sigma, but i'm not sure the difference now.
