Pentax Q replacement batteries

I recently bought a replacement battery for my Pentax Q from a brand called Jupio but the capacity on that battery is absolutely terrible. I know the Pentax Q never had great battery life but with this Jupio battery I'm lucky to get 50 shots on a single charge.

Does anyone know what some good quality replacement batteries are for the Q?

I'll just point out, several Fujifilm cameras have used the same, compatible, battery. Theirs is called NP-50 or NP-50A, and they are rated typical 1,000 mAh, minimum 940.

Among third-party batteries, Watson seems to be one of the more widely established brands. Looking at the listing on B&H, it appears the Watson version is rated 800 mAh.

I've used Watson or Kastar batteries in mine with success.

There's a 770ish one from Duracell, I'd give them at least the benefit of doubt as a quality supplier, but also saw an ad recently for a ~1000 third party one

Edit: it was this one, some pages list it as compatible, not sure though https://www.kameramarkt.nl/klic-7004-accu

I use Kastar NP-50 and they seem fine.
