NiMH batteries help to extend life significantly can also use non-rechargeable AA's in a pinch extending life indefinitely

I only use for short shoots if my lithium battery is out. DSLR will drain your standard batteries very quickly. I have no problems of it fitting into my camera body which is a Pentax K-50 DSLR

I chose the Pentax AA adapter over the 3rd party offerings due to the construction using metal as apposed to all plastic versions which while them being less costly I cannot afford to have this fail as I am often in remote areas where access to to power isn't available or intermittent at best. I make a fair part of my living as a travel/nature photographer (landscapes and such) so durability is very important. It works as advertised and fits without and binding or sloppiness while in the camera. In a nutshell great option for me and others in a like situation.

This is worth the extra cost over the non-OEM ones. Lots of metal. Also I would rather use rechargable AA batteries.

For use in my Pentax camera. Use it as a back-up for my lithium battery.

Works as expected. However, why would you spend this much on a holder when spare batteries are so cheap online?

Very convenient to have this as a backup and I've used it for an entire night of shooting in a pinch.

I used with Sanyo re-chargeable battries every day in Disney Parks. Kept Camera Battery for backup. No Problem in K30 camera. Though Sanyo Re-chargable battries lasts only around 500 shots no video.

I love my Pentax K30 for many reasons but one in particular is the ability to use regular batteries when the proprietary battery is dead. I have this battery holder preloaded with regular batteries so I can just drop them in and keep shooting!

I by far prefer this insert with LITHIUM AA batteries to the rechargeable lithium that came with the K-30. It is a seamless drop-in changeover from the stock battery. Of course having been a Pentax devotee since 1973 - through a dozen film and digital SLR's - and all my lens collections still working on all dozen bodies ...........plus great photographs.............. Heck - WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?

Nothing like having AA battery backup. Never a worry about dead batteries with this little gizmo. This one appears well made, good quality contacts, works great. Kudos to Pentax for a superb design idea. Makes the other guys look bad, for sure.

Glad I got this. I forgot to charge my battery the day before a shoot, and I was able to pop in 4 AA batteries and continue as if nothing was wrong.

This is a great backup to have, I can always find batteries no matter where I am.

This item fits, as expected. This is sold as "optional equipment". I was not aware of this until the Pentax Rep informed me. It's always best to have some kind of battery "back-up".

I find myself using the AA holder more than the Lithium battery that came with my camera, the AA's last longer! Nice to have the option, as power to recharge isn't always readily available, and to have extra charge along if I am in the middle of photographing my two beautiful grand-daughters!

Makes for easy backup to the battery included with the camera.
