4.0 out of 5 stars Good life, fair price.
I have 2 of these, the one that came with the Optio and this one as a spare. I find when traveling it pays to have 2 fully charged batteries before starting the day, especially when the camera requires a proprietary battery such as this one. I get about 100 high res shots out of the battery with the LCD on, maybe 150 with the LCD off. I feel the price is reasonable.

Why don't you send the damn thing to me? Or do you just take my money and then don't send anything?

5.0 out of 5 stars Geniune Pentax Battery, July 12, 2004

I purchased the Pentax DL18 battery from Amazon...which was fulfilled through JR Music and Computer World. A few items of note:

1) It is the Genuine and Authentic Pentax battery which was shipped with the Pentax S4i.

2) I would always suggest purchasing the genuine branded Pentax battery so you know what you are getting. You just don't want to mess with possible mismatches or where a generic is made to fit multiple applications.

3) If purchasing online from others...make sure you get the true thing. Know what you are buying.

4) Yes....the picture on Amazon is not accurate. It is not black...rather grey. I can assure you I received the genuine battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Generic, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Pentax DL-I8 Battery for Optio S, S6, S4i, S5i, S5z, WPi & WP Digital Cameras (Retail Packaging) (Electronics)
This is a well-constructed generic equivalent (made by PowerSmart in Japan) to the Pentax DL18 Lithium Ion battery for the Pentax Optio S camera. Depending on which vendor you choose, the generic brand may vary. One of the reviewers for this battery is correct about the illustration above; it is not the battery. The battery you will get is gray. It measures 40.5mm x 35.4mm x 6mm. The three terminals are at the edge of the battery, recessed and offset to one side. It is also interesting to note that this DL18 is equivalent to the Fujifilm NP-40 battery. The battery fits snug but not tight inside the camera, so that if you accidentally undo the spring latch, it won't fall out. Functionally, it works great and lasts just as long as the original battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pentax Optio WP Battery, February 24, 2006
This review is from: Pentax DL-I8 Battery for Optio S, S6, S4i, S5i, S5z, WPi & WP Digital Cameras (Retail Packaging) (Electronics)
the battery arrived quickly, safe, and sound along with other items. i would encourage EVERYONE to always have another battery for the Optio WP, especially when using it on vacation as both a general purpose camera and a snorkeling camera; most snorkeling shots will fire the flash and your camera recycle time-between-shots is improved greatly by a fresh battery. Happy trails and good shooting !

This battery has the same dimention as a CF card, therefore fits in the widely available plastic cases for protection. Capacity is not very high, so keep some spares around.

When I bought my Pentax camera it only came with one battery so I bought a charger and a generic battery to swap out when I ran out of juice. Since this is a proprietary battery and I often find myself off the beaten path in Alaska this is a good idea. Alas the generic one has already died but the original is still working fine. I bought two more genuine Pentax. Costs about double the generic but apparently YGWYPF. BTW, my Pentax Optio W20 is still GREAT, waterproof and tough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable, good quality Pentax Battery, July 18, 2006
This review is from: Pentax DL-I8 Battery for Optio S, S6, S4i, S5i, S5z, WPi & WP Digital Cameras (Retail Packaging) (Electronics)
I like to have 2 batteries so I can have a charged one at all times. The Pentax battery is much superior to a generic brand I purchased when I could not find another Pentax brand battery. The generic one bloated up and quit after a few months. The original one that came with the camera is still working great. I am glad to finally find a source for the Pentax brand.

I have bought generic batteries in the past and they never lasted as long as the original Pentax. I received my Pentax battery in a very timely manner and now I'm waiting to see how long it will hold a charge and long it will last. So far I am very happy with it.

This product was as advertised,genuine "Pentax made in japan", same as the battery that came with my camera. I am very pleased with the product, vendor and delivery. I know where to look when I need another camera battery.

We go on long trips and having a back up battery with us was necessary. Because we live in Germany, we've been able to take trips into neighboring countries (via bus) and have taken so many photos that we truly wear out the battery, now we can just pop the second one in and just keep snapping away. It's disappointing to not be able to take photos of things you see along the way when your camera is just tired, not anymore! We are happy with our purchase and the item was delivered quickly.
