Pentax D-LI90E Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery for 645, K-1II, K-1, K-3II, K-3, K-7, K-5, K-5II & K-5IIs DSLR's

It's Pentax. What more is there to say? Very good battery and worth the price in my opinion. Just bought a new K3 and got this for a 2nd battery so I haven't had a chance to see how durable it is. I have had several generic brand batteries in the past and they don't seem to last. I was using one with my K20D a couple of years ago and when I turned the camera on, the main board got "fried" which was a $280 repair at C.R.I.S. It may not have been due to the battery, but I didn't take any chances and tossed the battery in the trash.

I stick with Pentax branded batteries for their quality. This is a backup battery for the Pentax K-1 Mark II. I shoot professionally so I absolutely need batteries I can trust to work when I need them.

It works wonderfully

I used aftermarket or generics for different items . In some cases they were a success and yes money saved. For this item I did the same thing. It charged but when I tried to load it to take some pictures the cap was acting to close. I finally managed only to see my camera turn on and keep blinking. It did not happen before or not for so long. I turned the camera off took the generic battery out thats when I found there is a hole and some melted plastic. This was the reason the cap would not close easily. I only hope nothing happened to camera. These cameras are made to last long. However my Pentax Kr which I bought brand new from another site with Shutter count less than 300 died after a loud noise. I only could salvage the lens for $50. Yes $650 loss. Was that Kr a lemon I don't know but warranty was for 5 month. Too late but without saying all generics batteries are bad I only want to use the original Pentax parts. Therefore, I think you should be the judge and make your own decision JUST A THOUGHT. Good luck

Needed a second batter for my camera. I thought about. Buying a cheap one, but finally decided to go with the authentic Pentax one. Glad I did. Battery keeps a charge for a long time, and when I use it it lasts for a very long time.

I use these LI90- batteries with my Pentax K-5 II. They have a great battery-life even when sitting on the shelf. Unlike my Canon and Nikon batteries, they do not drain daily when not in use. The only reason I didn't give these a 5-Star, is because the "recharge time" is extremely long. I usually have to charge these over-night to get a full charge. The manual states that it takes 6 hours compared to my Canon batteries that only take about 2-3 hours, but I think the charge time might be even longer for these !

Yes, you can find compatible batteries for half the price. You get what you pay for. I have purchased several third party batteries for my Pentax cameras and all were great - for the first few months. After a while they all seemed to lose power faster than they should but my Pentax branded batteries operate like new, even after several YEARS. Now I don't waste my money or time with the third part ones. I recently purchased a new Pentax DSLR with a battery grip, put the OEM battery in the body and got this D-LI90E for the grip. I have two other Pentax DSLRs and those have D-LI90s in them as well. I won't use any batteries other than the Pentax ones.

Always buy an original Pentax D-L190 battery. The knock-off brands are not as reliable. They tend to run out of power faster and are not reliable when it comes to durability and cold and heat resistant. The Pentax D-L190E Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batter meets (exceeds) all my needs and after dumping several knock-off brands I still am using my original Pentax battery that came with the K3 camera. My recent order was to use as back up batteries and I can be assured that I'll have lots of power for long shoots.

Charged well, work well

Real deal.

The battery is the same as the Pentax battery

it works

Great Product!
