Fujifilm X-T4 Third Party Dual Battery Charger Available and More Batteries

Share

 

Just yesterday we reported, how the first third party NP-W235 battery can be found in Europe.

Now a FR-reader (thanks) passed me the link to a Chinese third party battery as well as a third party dual batter charger for Fujifilm X-T4.

In USA, you find them available branded as DIGIeye NP-W235 at AmazonUS here. For the same price of a Fujifilm original battery, you’ll also get the dual charger on top of it.

We will soon be flooded with third party options, but not all of them are really good.

Independent testings showed, that some Fujifilm third party batteries can be considered almost a fraud, whereas others are close in performance and reliability to the original Fujifilm batteries (such as Wasabi Fujifilm batteries).

Baxxtar Pro Battery for Fujifilm X-T4 Shipping June 26

Share

As you know, I bought the Fujifilm X-T4 and along with it also an additional original NP-W235 battery and the mandatory BC-W235 dual battery charger.

Thanks to the NP-W235, battery life on the X-T4 has been substantially improved over X-T3.

On my first hike on the Dolomites I came through the day with one battery quite comfortably. Frankly, I don’t think I will ever need more than 2 of these batteries. And probably most of the time, the second battery won’t be even used and stay in my bag just to give peace to my mind.

Hence, I am not in the market for another battery, for now, and that’s good, as those nice NP-W235 batteries aren’t exactly what I would call “affordable”.

But if I’d get a third one, it would probably be a third party battery.

I know a much used (and appreciated) third party battery among Fuji shooters are the Wasabi branded Fujifilm batteries and we already reported here, that Wasabi is working on batteries for Fujifilm X-T4.

But it seems, that the first alternative to the original NP-W235 batteries will be the Baxxtar Pro replacement batteries for Fujifilm X-T4, which can be bought single or in double pack and will start shipping on June 26.

At the moment, the batteries seem to be available only in Europe at AmazonDE here. But it’s probably just a matter of short time now, until a wide variety of third party options will hit the market.

Custom New Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 Look, Fujinon Zoom Lenses Showdown & More XF Lens Roundup

Share

Fellow FR-reader yukosteel wrote me this:

Here’s one more proof that one of your favorite Fujinon lens is really indestructible : )

It took years since you posted my effort on XF 27mm disassembly (thanks again), that leaded to lots of interesting conversations with other people and more mechanical discovery.

Today I finished one more manual focus mod of XF 27mm with broken electronics.

If you want to see the results, check out yukosteel’s article here.
