It's supposedly larger capacity than the OEM battery, but it seems debatable that it actually lasts longer in the field. The beauty is that it recharges with just a USB-C cable, but it can also be recharged in a standalone charger or in the camera. Very versatile, and the white color lets me spot it easily in my camera bag. A great backup/extra battery for my X-T5, which really goes through a lot of power when I'm out shooting.

This little charger is quite versatile, coming with both USB-C and micro-USB ports to plug into. Note that the package comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable.
Twin lights on the front of the charger show you charging status. A neat little charger for your camera batteries.

Having a lot of camera batteries, its always a pain having to wait for one set of batteries to charge before I can charge my next set. This little charger helps me speed up time. charges at the same rate as my other charger. Not fast, not slow. Its actually fairly small so is ideal for travelling. From a trusted company from who I have brought many products off before. Would reccommend.

K&F are renowned for making top quality and affordable photography equipment and this K&F NP-W235 is no different.
The K&F branded NP-W235 battery has an inbuilt charger meaning all I need to charge it up is a USB C cable (either USB A to USB C or USB C to USBC), eliminating the need to take a bulky battery charger with me, and this is a game changer for me.
The K&F NP-W235 battery takes around 2.5 hours to fully charge which is longer than using a conventional NP-W235 battery and charger however this is a trade off I am willing to accept for the convenience of the K&F battery.
This battery doesn’t last as long as the Fuji branded batteries, but this is to be expected and I have yet to find any third party branded battery that lasts as long Fuji branded batteries. It is evident I don’t get as many photos or as many video minutes per charge however the difference isn’t that great. Besides, these batteries are a fraction of the price of Fuji branded batteries so I’ll just get another one.
Many third party batteries are a poor fit and suffer swelling when hot. I have not experienced this using the K&F NP-W235 battery and it fits nice and tight, hence ensuring a good connection, but also easy to remove at the end of the session when it needs charging.
At £36.99 (at the time of review) these K&F batteries are a fraction of the cost of the Fuji branded batteries and are great value for money. One thing that is worthy of note is that number of shots/video minutes per pound is less than Fuji branded batteries.
Overall these K&F batteries are superb and highly recommended and when I need additional batteries I am going to go for these over Fuji branded batteries not least because of the convenience of not having to take a charger.
