SKU: KF28.0019V1
After shooting over 100 shots the battery is about 3/4 full. Seems to be working as well as the original Fuji battery.

The biggest advantage of this battery is that it can be charged directly through a USB-C charging source. No special, proprietary charging device is needed. You don't need to use the camera to charge it either. With ubiquitous of USB-C, it almost guarantees you will be able to charge it when needed. This is especially helpful in travel. By the way, you can still charge it using Fujifilm XS-20 or XT-4 and so on, if you want to. Fujifilm's W235 has 2200mAh capacity. This one has 2400mAh, a bit more juice. Overall, this one is better than the OEM one, I think.

This is a great idea, building the recharging component directly inside the battery housing so that you no longer have to carry a separate battery charger. All you do is connect the USB C cable to a power source and connect the other end to the battery itself (which has a USB C port built into the body). The supplied cable is short, but adequate. The dimensions and sizing of the battery are exactly the same as the original OEM battery, and the battery slides in and out and clicks into place in the camera just like the original. A nice touch is that it comes with a protective cap for when it is not in use (even the original Fuji batteries do not!). No concerns about battery life compared to the OEM. About half the price of the original battery. And, as pointed out by another reviewer, you can also charge the battery with a traditional charger if desired. Feels like a high quality build. Highly recommended.

This battery is like other third party batteries for the Fujifilm X series cameras, but with a nice extra feature. That feature is the USB-C port on the battery to allow charging it from a USB charger.
You can also charge the battery in the standard way by putting it into a charger.
I like the USB-C charger approach because it provides a second way of charging the battery. When I travel, I take a battery charger with me. But if something happened and I lost the charger, or it failed, I'd be in a heck of a mess because I'd quickly run out of battery power for my camera. With the USB-C charging port, I can still charge the batteries.
The battery claims a slightly greater capacity than the original Fujifilm battery - 2400mAh compared to 2200 mAh - and works in my X-H2 camera fine.
Recommended to anyone traveling with a Fujifilm camera.

Replacement battery for Fuji XT5 works as good as if not better than oem. Love the versatility in charging options, battery pack, wall usb plug in or in camera charging. Great battery for camera at a reasonable price.

I use my xt4 for 4k footage at 59.9. I run through batteries a lot. this battery has held up like the original that came with the xt4. I am glad it is also a different color because I can't get mixed up with the others. I like that I can also just use a wire to charge it without using the block that the others need. I actually thought I would have been able to have it charge in the camera while using it. but the door would not close. i have a lot of small rig things and this was definitely a good choice.

This is easily the best third party battery I have owned for a camera. In some ways, it is better than the OEM battery. I have always purchased third party batteries for my backup batteries. I have never had a bad experience and they are just so much less expensive than OEM. That said, the OEM battery is still the best option for battery life and longevity. I just don’t believe the higher price is worth it. The K&F CONCEPT battery is in the middle price range and is probably the best option for most owners. I have found the battery life to be as good, if not better than Fujifilm’s battery. It is rated higher, but that doesn’t always mean it will last longer… well in this case, it does. The USB-C port on the battery is a convenience. I have charged my batteries both in the camera and in a third party charger that charges 2 at a time. The USB-C will just add another option to that list. BTW, this battery charges nice in camera and in my charging dock… no issues. I am really happy with this battery and will probably stick with K&F CONCEPT batteries in the future. I already use their camera cages and other accessories. So happy to buy from a trusted brand.

It’s a pleasure to review this K&F CONCEPT rechargeable camera battery because it is a quality product.
The main item, of course, is the battery, 200mAh more than the Fuji battery for the Fuji X-T4 and X-T55 cameras. There is a USB-C charging connector on one end of the battery and a connector on the other end for matching the connector in the camera. The included cover protects this connector.
The high-quality cable comes with a cable strap that sticks to itself and keeps the cable nicely wrapped when it is not being used. The cable has a USB-A connector on the power source end and a USB-C connector on the other end that gets plugged into the battery. The included User Manual is well-written and is easy to understand. The nice box, with interior padding, has informative labels that show the specs for the battery. The product is better than the label because the cable, cable strap, and User Manual are not mentioned on the outside labels on the box.
Some items I buy are all show with little quality, but this product is all quality and little show on the outside of the box. I highly recommend this rechargeable battery and associated parts if you have a Fuji X-T4 or X-T5 camera. Nicely done, K&F CONCEPT.
