Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

[Tomek666]

Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life?

I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge.

Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger?

Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge?

I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual.

Thank you!

External charging is the way to go. Doesn't rely on circuitry of the camera. Also, if you shoot any length of time you're going to be swapping batteries, and you can use one while charging the other.

Thanks Chris, can you elaborate why relying on the circuitry of the camera is not favorable (asside from the convenience aforementioned)?
