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

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.

It's a dual battery charger. It charged two batteries, quickly. I did like the little screen on there that tells you the current state of charge of the batteries. Happy with this purchase.

Okay, so it's just a battery charger but it's a really nice one. I made the mistake of buying the GFX 100S from Adorama (will NEVER do that again) and they didn't have a charger so I turned to Amazon. While pricey, it displays charge progress as a percentage value and the screen is bright and easy to read. It seems to have some sort of overcharge protection but I can't swear to that. The fact that it's USB-C is helpful in rapid charging. It's no where near as fast as charging one's phone but it seems to get right along. It is sad that it doesn't come with the charging brick or USB-C cable but overall, a very nice product.

When you spend more than 5,000 for a GFX camera, you expect that to find a charger inside the box. But to my surprise there was no charger.So ordered this one and it’s nice. The display is handy (giving you a percentage/charge level) instead of the typical flashing LEDs or cheaper chargers.It does the job.

I used generic charger before which took almost overnight to charge just one battery. This charger is a must have! From 20 to 100% ( new batteries) in under 90 minutes charging 2 batteries simultaneously. Wow! And to add to that, I used my Anker power bank, not even wall outlet. Super excited. Why did I even bother spending money on off brands?!

I know...I know most people prefer to buy the cheap chargers out there.I did...and returned it after a few days. This charger is solidly built, lets you know exactly where you stand as to the percentage charged on your batteries. It works perfectly every time. It kinda hurt to push the "buy it now" button, but I'm glad it did.

buyer beware, this charger does not come with a cable. I guess it doesn't appear in the photos, but I would expect for this price they would add the cable like almost every other charger does. USB-C is required. Otherwise it's a quality charger.

I don’t particularly like in body charging and definitely has its limitations when needing to have spare batteries. This device is a perfect solution. Note that if you don’t use the cable provided with the camera, USB-C to USB-C, that both sides will not charge at the same time. I thought mine was defective when I tried using a USB-A to USB-C.
