3rd party batteries and chargers.

[Julia Q]

I'm looking at the various options for batteries and chargers for my Fuji XT-1. There seem to be lots of 3rd party batteries available, of varying capacities and prices. Can anyone recommend any as ones worth getting, or ones worth avoiding?

I would like to get a charger that I can run off a 12v supply, as well as the mains. The Watson charger with the interchangeable plates seems nice, but I can't find it in the UK. There is also the Patona 3 in 1 charger. Has anyone tried any of the 3rd party chargers, any worth looking at, or ones worth avoiding?

Cheers

J

The ex-pro's on amazon seem to be ok to me.

I've got a hanhl one that's 240v or 12v cigar lighter and it's brilliant if a bit slower than my nikon one

I have, for at least a year, been using a battery branded VHBW alongside the NP-W126 that came with my X e2 (which takes the same battery as the X-T1 & several other Fujis)
Its dimensions and claimed power are the same as the NP-W126, and in my experience they are identical functionally. The VHBW has worked perfectly, and appears to me to be of just as good quality.as the NP-W126
