NP-W235 Battery and Dual Charger for Fujifilm XT4, X-T5 - Long Life

In this review the reviewer tested the NP-W235 replacement battery kit to see whether it delivers usable run time and flexible charging for Fujifilm mirrorless users. The bottom line: it is aimed at photographers who need more shooting time and convenient charging options, and the single biggest reason to buy is the higher capacity that translates into substantially more shots per charge. The review focuses on real-world use with an X-T4/X-T5 style workflow and highlights charging convenience, fit, and safety features.

Key Features

• High Capacity Battery: The 7.2V 2250mAh Li-ion cell offers a larger energy reserve so users can capture around 610 photos on a single charge with compatible Fujifilm bodies.
• OEM Size Design: The battery restores a 1:1 fit and contact layout, which helps it seat reliably in the X-T4, X-T5 and compatible vertical grips without wobble.
• Multi-charging Solution: Dual input via micro USB and USB-C means the charger can accept power from wall adapters, car chargers, or power banks for on-the-go recharging.
• Smart Indicator: Two battery icons on the charger show charging progress so it is easy to tell when both batteries are topped up.
• Fast Dual Charge: The charger fills two batteries in about four hours, making it practical to replenish power between shoots or during breaks.
• Safety Guarantee: Built-in protections against over-discharge, overload and short circuit reduce the risk of damage during charging or storage.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Fujifilm photographers who own an X-T4, X-T5, X-S20, X-H2 series, or GFX mirrorless camera and want longer runtime without carrying multiple OEM packs. It suits travel, event, and everyday shooting where extra capacity and the ability to charge from a power bank are useful.

It is less well suited to users who must charge via two inputs at once or who require manufacturer-branded batteries for professional rental houses; those buyers should consider OEM supplies. Also, photographers who never shoot more than a few hundred frames between charges may find the extra capacity unnecessary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Higher 2250mAh capacity yields noticeably longer shooting time compared with standard packs.
• Charger accepts both micro USB and USB-C power sources for flexible charging in the field.
• Compact charger displays two battery icons so users can monitor charge status at a glance.
• Safety protections help prevent common charging faults.

Cons

• Cannot use micro USB and USB-C inputs simultaneously, so multi-input charging is limited.
• Third-party supply may not satisfy users who prefer official brand batteries for rental or pro use.
