Fuji XT2 batteries and charger


miguel

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am trying to purchase some cheaper batteries and charger for my XT2 that are available in the UK.

 

I have read good reports on the Watson LCD Duo charger and their batteries, also the Wasabi range but I can not find a supplier in the UK.

 

It is possible to order from the US but the taxes and import duties di not make it a visble proposition,

 

Can anyone offer me a supplier in the UK or recommend a replacement battery that is available here.

The new Batteries have been especially developed for the X-T2 by using other batteries you are impairing the performance of the new camera

here a test the non original batteries, their performance is often poor and certainly not capable to support the X-T2 in high performance mode.

I purchased this one from Amazon UK in May works fine with both sorts of NP-W126(s).  Ex-Pro also make batteries, but I choose to use only Fuji originals!

I can suggest the NP-W126 replacements coming from Patona. Used them on my X-T1 extensively and they're also working on my X-T2 with no noticeable difference to the original NP-W126s in function nor performance. Those batteries are also orderable as a bundle including a very basic but efficient charger including charge per USB, a car adapter and normal power cord.

 

Hope this helps :-)

Where did you buy the Patona. Any where in the US? Looking for a small charger with integrated wall US plug even though the Watson one works fine with the 126 plate.

Bought them at Amazon DE. Aren't they available in the US?

I bought this Watson and its very very good - but quite heavy comparing to original one. Good thing is you see percentage  - usefull when you use a grip with 2 batteries, also you can charg fast if you need. 

Bought some cheap batteries and they are as good as originals.

I think this may be what you want. I have two of the chargers and 4 of the batteries. I am satisfied with their performance.

Another + vote for the Patona batteries. I bought 4 of them for my wife who went trekking in Peru with the X-Pro2.

I bought her the portable charger which came with 2 of the "yellow batteries" as well as 2 of the "green batteries".

 

I've used them on both the X-T2 and X-Pro2 with no noticeable difference in performance to the original Fuji batteries.

Another vote for the Ex-Pro Dual LCD Mains Charger (bought on Amazon UK). I've been using it for over a year and find it very good. Although I try to use only Fuji batteries, I have several of the "yellow" Patona batteries as spares (also available on Amazon UK), and have never had any problems with them.

Hi, I've got this charger and use it for my Sony lighting batteries as well as my old nikon batteries. You can just buy extra plates for different battery types for about a fiver but I've yet to find w126 plates on their own. Anyone know where I can get just the plates?

They are currently available from Ex Pro via Amazon UK (search for Ex Pro dual charger plate pack). They look as though they're the right ones.

You're a star. Ordered, thanks.

Arrived! I love the ability to charge different batteries at the same time, charge from a 12V source (whilst camping) and see what charge state the batteries are at. 2494dd214fe2dc1eb8b542251f3dc6fd.jpg

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
