I lost my XT4 power Brick (AC-5VJ) Now dual charger takes an eternity

[Nicolas R]

Hey guys, my XT4 power brick and cable got lost or stolen, I own the dual power charger and I was happy with it because it charges both bateries at the same time and very quickly. After I lost the brick and cable I used my smartphone fast charger but now it takes an eternity to fully charge (probably 7 hours) and also it cannot charge 2 bateries at the same time. I want to know if there is any option to buy the original Fujifilm power brick (AC-5VJ) or if there is another option! I find it ridiculous that buying the dual charger doesnt come with another brick and cable (70 dollars!) and also that I cannot buy that brick. Can you guys give me a suggestion? 

 

Actually I connected a 13inch Macbook Pro charger and it looks like its working, but I dont want to carry that with me just to charge bateries and also I dont want to pay that much to replace something so simple as a f...ing power brick! Any ideas?

Nicolas, I have the Nitecore FX1 dual charger and I use it with a 2 Amps USB charger (Apple or other). It measures the temperature of the accus while charging and it works well for me.

You need to find a charger that can provide 5V, 3A (15W) in order to charge as fast as with AC-5VJ.

I bought a cheap one for hardly anything off Amazon, not a big deal really, a charger is a charger doesn't have to be Fuji branded

 

I got this one

As the XT-4 doesn't come with a charger I bought this with a generic spare battery too,

There are two Anker USB-C chargers I am using these days. One smaller than the old style like the Apple charger and now an even slimmer version. Both are 30W chargers. Here are links to them on Amazon. Using a lot of Anker products like chargers and power banks with zero problem.

I have a similar problem. Does it have to be 5V 3A or can it be higher? Can it be like a 20W power brick instead of 15 without damaging the camera?

use any fast chargers with "USB-PD" capabilities , the one's with usb-pd capabilities can output various voltage and ampere according to the device connected , so you can charge the camera without worrying about excess voltage and in the fastest time . there is lowest priced ones from Motorola 27w usbc-pd charger and for a bit more from other brands . but don't buy the ones with cheap build quality ,buy branded ,from any durable brands ,phone chargers etc.. like the one i mentioned . or you can even use powerbanks with usbc-pd capabilities and usb 3.1 cable. i will share a few links for lowest price options.

i hope this helps , have a nice day ahead !
