About this deal

This issue isn’t that serious on new Fuji cameras (like X-T2 or X-Pro2) since their indicator is more granular and even percentage can be shown. Older cameras (X-T1 or X-Pro1) offer only 4 states of the indicator (Full or 3 bars, 2 bars, 1 bar and Empty). Based on the chart we can deduct how much of the battery remains when there is a change in the battery indicator: Still pictures: Exif 2.3 JPEG (compressed); RAW (original RAF format, uncompressed or compressed using a lossless algorithm; special purpose software required); RAW+JPEG available Apparently the cheapest aftermarket batteries fail pretty bad, but fortunately many brands offer pretty solid competitors to the original batteries. They often have almost the same capacities and also heat management under a heavy load seems to be alright. This battery is made of top materials of Lithiumion cells that have been safely certified by RoHS, CE, FCC and tested through repeated simulated work and commissioning before they are shipped from the factory. On the other hand, its specifications are based on the original standards such as appearance, interface type, body size, capacity, voltage, charging current and voltage, etc. Is it real Fujifilm NP-W126S compatibility information? Lenses – The lens has dust inside that may affect images. The rubber zoom/focus ring is coming away from the barrel of the lens.

For the old NP-W126, there are several offerings from third party manufacturers. I personally use PATONA batteries (I think they are WATSON rebranded in USA, but I’m not sure), and I’m very happy with them. mm × 92.8 mm × 58.8 mm (35.4 mm excluding projections, measured at thinnest part)/5.22 in. × 3.65 in. × 2.31 in. (1.39 in.) I haven’t done any rigorous testing in this area, so far I’ve just tried to put all the brands to a fridge for few days, but haven’t measured any significant loss of charge. Even when not used for a long period, none of my batteries suffered any significant discharge. Battery aging

It makes more sense to me that Fuji would have designed both of the Generation 3 cameras to take full advantage of the new battery they were developing, but that the battery might not have been ready for the X-Pro2 release. However, not all third party batteries work as well as PATONA/WATSON. As tested, and we reported here, some third party batteries are so bad, that some called them to be a “fraud“. NP-W126S Third Party Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. In terms of safety, I have no complaints at all with the Wasabi branded batteries. They don’t last as long as the Fujifilm, but they are consistent and the camera functions perfectly with them. The Dot-01 brand though, I do have concerns with and would not recommend. They get excessively hot when used for a whole shoot, and as I noted above, they (or at least the few that I have) have ceased to go in and out of the camera as smoothly as they should. It could be the two that I have, but they are the newest batteries in my kit, and they should not be doing this. Note: Battery endurance varies with battery charge level and the figures given above are not guaranteed. Battery endurance will decline at low temperatures.

My old original NP-W126 currently, after several years of usage, has roughly 1100 mAh, while it had >1200 mAh when new. Lower quality batteries can show more significant aging, the DSTE battery is already almost unusable. Conclusion Submit a valuation request and we'll provide guide prices with no delay.

I have used two of the readily accessible third-party brands here in the USA, Wasabi and Dot-01. As far as working, up until about 2 months ago, I was equally happy with both brands, but that is when the cheaper Dot-01 brand started to scare me. To the point that now I don’t use them in my X-Pro2 anymore. The Dot-01 batteries started overheating, and they no longer go in or out of the camera like the Fujifilm or Wasabi batteries do. If you want the ultimate performance or you do a lot of 4K video recording or continuous shooting, NP-W126S is clearly the winner. That said, some of the third party batteries are very close to the Fujifilm’s original in performance, while they cost only a fraction of the price. The frame rate and number of frames per burst varies with shooting conditions and type of memory card used. Watson and Green Extreme have performance pretty much on par with the original batteries and cost roughly a third of them. They are currently available only the US.
