NP-W235 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery

Let’s get this out of the way. It isn’t cheap and there are third party options out there. But, the BC-W235 is the kind of charger that does its job so well, you barely think about it, and that’s exactly the point. Built for Fujifilm’s NP-W235 batteries, it’s compact, solid, and refreshingly no-nonsense. Plug it in, pop in one or two batteries, and watch the clear LED indicators do their thing. You’re not going to find the third party options have all the necessary pins for charge and heat management (don’t do it!). The dual-bay design is a real win for anyone who shoots often or travels light. Charging two batteries simultaneously saves time and faff, and each side gets its own status bar, so you’re never guessing which one’s ready to go. It’s fast and noticeably quicker than charging in-camera (which isn’t great for the body anyway). This is the kind of kit that earns a permanent place in your camera bag. Lightweight, reliable, and well-built, the BC-W235 adds just enough polish to make it feel like more than an accessory - it feels like a proper part of the Fujifilm system. That all said, DON’T skimp on batteries get the originals, you will regret it if you don’t.

A good item to have if you don't like using your camera to charge the battery, plus you can only do one at a time whereas this will charge 2 at once. Works well with genuine batteriand also third party ones, had an issue at first where when charging 2 batteries at once only one visual charging display would show, however after a bit of research it turns out you need to use the usb cable and plug supplied with the camera not just any old usb cable and then both displays work at the same time. Well made product but can't help feeling it should be included with the camera and not an optional extra, but that's life these days. Highly recommended.

The XT5 is not cheap and the batteries are not either. But I prefer to use the original batteries over cheaper ones available for peace of mind. There was a slight discount on these so I snapped one up.

This works extremely well, charges two batteries simultaneously and is quite fast. Clear readout of the state of charge of each. In camera charging is OK, but you can't use the camera whilst doing that. For me it is better to have two batteries and swap them over, so I can continue to use the camera whilst the other is on charge. No lead is supplied so you need to use the one that came with the camera or alternatively a USB C to USB C lead.

Not the cheapest out there. Bough in a rush as I only had one battery for my camera and needed a second one. The battery arrived well, in its original package but completely discharged. Such as not even the LCD would show its status. These are Li-On batteries and these batteries don't like to be completely discharged, as it can result in bad performance. Let's see how this one will perform and how long it will last.

Works as described. A good addition to fuji camera equipment.

You get what you pay for. This Fuji battery charger powers 2 batteries at the same time and you can see the % as it is charging. Superb.

Pricey, but they work reliably.
