Product Made in China, a Made in Japan version came with my camera... can't tell the difference. Works fine, but is pricey. Go for a reputable generic Lithium Ion with same voltage and higher mAh at a lower price...
Pentax please June 18, 2008 Glen Thompson (Alaska) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!

When I bought my camera I also purchased a generic battery. The Pentax battery has far outlasted the generic.

I purchased my Pentax Optio digital when visiting the Carribean several years ago, and only just now had to replace the original battery! Am glad that I decided to replace with original equipment. Battery holds a charge FOREVER! Too risky to purchase generic, which would not have been as costly....but could never outshine the quality of the orignal equipment. Plus, it is great that Amazon offers free shipping on so many of their items. That is really a tremendous incentive to continue buying from them!
Pentax Battery Review September 5, 2007 cardiacmarilyn (Tarpon Springs, Fl USA)
The battery was a welcome addition to the new camera I purchased and the number of pictures I was able to take while on Vacation. I never had to stop taking pictures while the battery was charging. A welcome addition as I did not miss any of the family reunion.
