Fujifilm BC-W235 Dual Battery Charger for NP-W235 Battery

I could find any trusted Fuji w235 battery chargers out there so I have decided go for the OEM. It is definitely a little overpriced. I guess that the price for peace of mind. The usb-c charger is fast enough. And it cuts off automatically once battery is fully charged. It shows the percentage pretty much accurate. All overall happy with the purchase. Tough choice when it comes to the price. It took a lot of courage to hit that Buy Button. Well, no regrets though :)

Yep, it costs 50% more to get the Fuji logo on the front of any gadget and that's true for this charger as well. So if you can get past that you will really like this charger. If you get the right power block (see below) it's very fast and charges both batteries at once. Further, you can quickly tell what the current charge in you battery is by just plugging the battery into the charger. I like that it has a numerical percentage of charge listed for both batteries, some other chargers just give you 1, 2, 3 or 4 bars. Nice charger, reasonably small, sure to treat the batteries well (since it's Fujifilm brand, after all). Highly recommended. Some people have complained that it requires a special power block (wall-wart, transformer, power supply, whatever). That's definitely true if you want the batteries to charge quickly. The power block must be rated for at least 30W and must have a USB-C output port and it must support PD (power delivery). Sometimes the letters PD will be on the power block - if you don't see PD on the power block or the documentation then it's reasonable to assume that it will charge the Fuji batteries slowly. I have no idea if any Fuji power supply is both PD & 30W or not. It's fine to use a charger rated for anything more than 30W - 45W, 60W, 100W or even 240W. The PD protocol will ensure that the block and the charger negotiate to the correct levels. In theory, any USB-C to USB-C cable will work, as they are all supposed to be rated for 60W. Can't hurt to get a 100W cable which includes an e-marker chip that both sides use for verification. It's easy to get a 60W (or larger) charger and 100W cable that can be used to charge anything - these batteries, your laptop, your phone and/or just about anything else with a USB-C connector. That's what I travel with now so I never have to worry.

Great charger, would recommend to anyone looking to charge two batteries at once. Have had it for about a year and continues to work great.
