Extra battery for X-T30

[natswright]

I found this as a direct replacement for the NP-W126S

Are there any others I can use. Duracell do do another battery

But this is the none S version, that has reduced capacity, especially for video?

As the genuine batteries are so expensive, i'm looking for recommendations for a cheaper alternative

Grudgingly I now only use OEM batteries despite the expense. The improvement with the 126s wasn't so much capacity but in the way they handle heat - especially important with video.

I'm using this one:

In several tests patona and another brand that I don't remember (but it was only available in USA) were the best in heat management.

In terms of capacity it's inferior to the fuji originals, but they are at a fraction of the price

Thanks! Will check those out. In the mean time I have a big 25000mah portable power brick, to keep it running for long shoots!

Very interesting and useful - thank you for this effort. I have used Ex-Pro batteries alongside OEMs for 10 years in Sony (A550 and RX100) and Fuji (XT-10, now XT-30) cameras; I have never had any problem and have noticed no real-life difference in performance.
