llano NP-W126S Dual Battery Fast Charger (Dual Slot) for Fujifilm cameras, Black
Product description
If you regularly shoot with two batteries, this llano NP-W126S dual charger is built around one simple idea: less waiting, more time taking photos. On paper it’s a dual-bay charger that can charge both batteries at once, and it also adds a small storage-box style function.
That said, it isn’t a “battery power bank” type of accessory. It charges when connected, and it doesn’t store power for later—so if you’re expecting something you can carry fully charged to top up later, you may want to look elsewhere.
The essentials
The llano NP-W126S Dual Battery Fast Charger is designed for Fujifilm NP-W126/NP-W126S batteries. Its main draw is simultaneous charging: both batteries can be charged together, with the listing claiming fast charging performance using PD3.0 and QC3.0, aiming to fully charge two batteries in about 3 hours (as stated) versus roughly double the time with standard chargers (also as stated).
It also includes a digital display. When you insert the batteries, it shows the remaining power for each battery, plus the charging status while the charger is working. In day-to-day use, that’s the sort of detail that saves you from guessing—especially on a busy shoot where you might swap batteries without stopping to check on the camera.
Key features that you’ll actually notice
This is one of those gadgets that feels more useful the more you move around with a camera kit. The dual-slot design means you can keep a spare battery topped up alongside the one you’re using.
There’s also a storage-box angle: it doubles as a case with two battery slots and two SD card slots. The lid is magnetic flip-open, which (according to the description) helps keep batteries seated during charging and reduces the chance of a loose connection. It’s a small thing, but it matters when you’re charging in a hotel room or car and you don’t want to babysit cables.
Portability is another practical point. The charger is described as compact and lightweight, and it comes with a USB-C charging cable plus a soft carrying bag for transport. If you travel light, it’s the kind of add-on that’s easier to justify.

What it’s best for (and where it may fall short)
It makes the most sense if you routinely use Fujifilm cameras that take NP-W126/NP-W126S batteries and you often carry two batteries. For example, if you’re heading out for a morning walk, shooting until the first battery runs down, and then swapping to your second, having both charging at once overnight—or during a lunch break—can be a genuine time-saver.
However, keep the limitation in mind: the description explicitly says it lacks power storage and only charges when connected. So it won’t act like a portable charger you can “load up” and then use later without mains/USB power.
Also, while the listing highlights fast charging (PD3.0 & QC3.0), the real-world speed you get will still depend on what power adapter or charger you plug in. If you’ve only got a basic USB supply, you may not see the claimed top-end performance.
Charging options and safety notes
The charger supports multiple charging methods, including car chargers, computers, power banks, USB-C chargers, and wall adapters—handy if you’re working off whatever power sources are available.
On the safety side, the description mentions thermal management and short-circuit prevention, with the intention of protecting both batteries and improving longevity. No charger is completely “set and forget”, but these kinds of safeguards are the sort of basic confidence you want with lithium battery accessories.
One more buying point to consider: the inclusion of a digital display is nice, but it’s still worth double-checking your batteries are seated correctly in their slots every time—especially if you’re in a hurry.
What you get and what to check before buying
The box contents are listed as: 1× battery charger for NP-W126/NP-W126S, 1× USB-C cable, and 1× user manual.
Before you buy, it’s worth checking two things:
- You’re using NP-W126/NP-W126S batteries (the listing is clearly aimed at Fujifilm models that take these).
- You have a suitable charging source if you care about “fast” charging. The charger’s performance is tied to PD3.0/QC3.0 support on the power side.
If you’re buying for a camera bag that already has USB-C power adapters, this should slot in neatly. If you don’t travel with compatible chargers, it may feel a bit less impressive than the headline speed suggests.
Mini FAQ
Does it charge two batteries at the same time?
Yes. The listing states it charges both original and replacement batteries simultaneously.
Can it store power for later use?
No. The description specifically notes it lacks power storage and only charges when connected.
What does the display show?
It shows remaining power for each battery when inserted, and it also indicates the charging status during charging.
Does it come with a cable?
Yes. It includes a USB-C charging cable in the pack.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you own Fujifilm cameras that use NP-W126/NP-W126S batteries and you want a dual-slot charger that can top up both batteries together, with a display that helps you check charge levels quickly. It also makes sense if you travel and like keeping two batteries and two SD cards organised in one compact unit.
It may not be for you if you expected a charger that can store power and charge later without being plugged in, or if you don’t have a power source that supports PD3.0/QC3.0 and therefore won’t reliably hit the fastest charging claims.
For most people who shoot with two batteries and move around a bit, it’s a practical accessory—just don’t buy it under the assumption it works like a battery bank.
