From the brand
I’ll start with just a caveat that I haven’t owned the charger/batteries combo for very long; so I’ve no indication whether there will be issues in the future. If the devices continue to perform as they have up to now, I will be very pleased.
The price of the combo–two batteries plus the charger–is very competitive compared to the OEM battery, which are both much more expensive and seemed to be not easy to find when I searched for a second battery for my new Fujifilm X-T50. The Neewer combo is less than the cost of one original battery.
The charger comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, but I use USB-C to USB-C, and plug the charger either into a USB-C port on the front of my Mac or an Anker GaN charger. Both batteries can be charged simultaneously, though I have not bothered to test whether the charge timing is the same for one or two batteries. My impression is that charging is decently fast.
As can be seen from the images, the batteries are inserted vertically in the charger giving a smaller footprint that those chargers where the batteries lie flat.
Like other Neewer products I have owned, the kit seems well-made and good quality.
I love these batteries for my x-pro3, x100f, and x-t3 – it’s always great to have spares, and even though these generate the warning message about not being 126s batteries, they work just fine for my shooting style. The charger is really nice and adapts to charge in any situation, including from the car, or a battery station.
I had my X100VI for about 6 months now. Decided to get the Neewer batteries to have them as spares. The batteries charges from 0 to 100 about 2 hours. Which is pretty normal for camera batteries. The quality of the battery seems to be ok. But when I try to insert the battery into the X100VI, I noticed it won’t get clipped in by the battery clip. I never had this issue before. Some how it seems like the edge of the batter is thicker than it should be. I have to manually press on the clip, to get the battery locked into position. I have tried a few different batteries, none of them have this issue. Seems like only Neewer has this issue. It’s not a big deal, once the battery is clipped in, everything works fine. The life the battery can pretty much last me all day. So just FYI.
Nice set of batteries that fit Fuji X cameras. Comes with charge base for two batteries, two batteries and short cord. Knocked a star off for the extremely short cord, its only a little over a foot long. Also there is no wall power bank for the USB so one is needed to use or any other usb power option. I tried in my laptop and they did seem to charge fine so not much power is needed to charge the batteries up. One other thing is the batteries can be put in backwards as shown in the photos so take notice when putting them in. I plan to test total shots on actual Fuji batteries compared to these to see how they hold up.
I recently had a third party battery swell up and lodge itself in my Fujifilm XT2 battery grip. It was a brand that I wasn’t familiar with, so now I refuse to use batteries from manufacturers that I am not accustomed to. This battery is crafted just like the OEM battery and so far it has had excellent battery life. I own many other Neewer batteries for my other cameras and have never had any of them present negative issues while using or storing them.
Very nice dual battery charger for Fuji camera batteries. Having the multi-bar LED display is an improvement from my older charger that only had red and green LEDs to show status. I really like the dual power inputs giving you the choice of USB-C or micro-USB sources.
The batteries work fine although the 1140mAh capacity is slightly less than the 1200mAh of the OEM batteries and noticeable less than the 1400mAh of other reputable third party batteries.
The charger could properly charge both Neewer and OEM factory without any issue, take either USB C or micro USB input. I am most surprised is the performance of the included batteries work very similar in terms of shot taken and usage time compare to OEM battery. Personally I think this set is super value among the W126/ batteries set selling on Amazon, just because Neewer batteries works very similar to OEM one (others just doesn’t last more than a few shots)
First photo shows the Neewer battery with my Fujifilm one.
Pros:
* batteries seem to be drop in replacements (can’t tell a difference with my Fujifilm batteries)
* charging seems to be fast
* charging indicators are bright, easy to read
* charger has both microUSB and USB-C ports
Cons
* haven’t encountered any!
The Neewer DL-W126 charges a pair of NP-W126 batteries, common to a long line of Fujifilm digital cameras. Like many Fuji camera owners that I’ve met, I love my cameras, but that affection doesn’t extend to the tiny batteries they require. To be fair, their diminutive size does contribute to the compact size I like about the Fuji cameras in which they are used. So, I long ago opted to not complain about the short battery life but, instead, invest in a good quantity of batteries and chargers. Most of my batteries are not of the OEM variety, but I have been satisfied with their performance until one battery recently refused to take a charge. So, when I discovered that Neewer, a brand that has proven to offer value and performance in other types of products, also offers the NP-W126 batteries in a pair, with a nifty little charger, and at a decent price, I went for it.
OK, so what do I think? Well, the batteries appear identical to the others I’ve been using for years in all my Fuji X-series cameras. But the charger has a couple of features I appreciate. First, while the charger comes with a USB-C cable, it will accept either a USB-C or USB micro connector. That’s super handy. Plus, the battery charge status meter is larger than on my other chargers, and it is brighter, so easier to see at a glance or from a distance.
Everything works as advertised, which is not surprising. One thing was surprising, though. Remember that old battery that recently failed to take a charge? On a whim, I dropped it into the Neewer charger. And, lo and behold, it immediately began charging, and took a full charge. I don’t know what the Neewer has under its hood that my other brands don’t have, but I am sold!
