Fujifilm BC-W126 Battery Charger

Ordered 2 of these. Both have the same problem. The LED system never progresses beyond 1 blink, even after 12 hrs. As far as you know, never beyond 25%. This LED system is an excellent idea in theory: 1 blink for 25%, 2 for 50%, 3 for 75% and unblinking for full charge. Better than Fuji branded chargers which go dark upon reaching full charge. That could mean anything including not charged at all, or interrupted, after a power cut, for instance. Ambiguous. It turns out, though, that full charge IS reached, and probably after 2-4hrs. Just disregard the LEDs which dont work. Ridiculously inexpensive, almost certainly wont last (these are flimsy and light). The problem is Chinese quality control, which sets new standards for abysmal - cheap because it is only able to ... MoreOrdered 2 of these. Both have the same problem.

Recommended, only if you actually WANT a product that will die on you in a few weeks. And wish to fund the Chinese military.

I bought this to charge the batteries for my Fujifilm X-S10 because I do not like charging batteries in camera. I do not have proof, but I feel like extended periods of heat from battery charging may limit the life of the camera - not taking any chances.The charger charges the batteries in about 2.5 hours.I would have given this charger 5 stars, but it's two-piece construction is a little odd. The plug portion that goes into the electrical outlet is a separate piece that needs to be connected to the main body of the charger. It snaps into place easy and can be removed, but I prefer my other camera's battery chargers, where they swing into position for charging, while staying permanently connected - no chance of losing any pieces.

This Fujifilm Battery Charger is well made and worked as specified. It arrived well-packed in a sturdy Fujufilm box which I can use for storage. I am glad that the charger did not include a hefty power cord. Fujifilm designers devised a two prong, polarized power plug that inserts into a 110v conventional household socket. This power plug must be assembled to the battery charger which is simple enough to do. The prongs do not fold away like those on Apple chargers or on Canon chargers. But, Fujifilm did provide a plastic cover for the prongs to protect them in storage or when packed for travel. (I think the designer may have intended to be able to provide a European plug assembly that could also fit the same charger.) The American market is big enough to warrant ... MoreThis Fujifilm Battery Charger is well made and worked as specified. It arrived well-packed in a sturdy Fujufilm box which I can use for storage.
