Product description
The SMALLRIG NP-W235 2400mAh USB-C camera battery is a practical replacement power source for Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, offering faster charging and reliable capacity for extended shoots. It suits photographers and videographers who need a dependable spare that charges quickly and integrates cleanly with existing kit.
Key features
This battery supports USB-C fast charging with a 5V 2.2A input, which the manufacturer says cuts charging time to around 2.5 hours for a full charge. A two-colour indicator shows progress, red while charging and green when complete. The 2400mAh 7.2V 17.28Wh capacity provides longer runtime than many standard spares, and the cell is claimed to be decoded so the camera will not display warning pop-ups.

Benefits
You get shorter downtime between shoots thanks to the faster USB-C input, and the option to charge from a power bank, car charger or wall adapter adds flexibility on location. The casing is a frosted ABS and PC blend that the maker describes as fire-resistant, and the battery matches original dimensions so it fits existing camera compartments without sticking.
Usage tips
It’s a good fit if you frequently record longer sessions or need spare units for travel. For best results charge the battery with a 5V 2.2A source and monitor the indicator light rather than relying on the camera readout. Do bear in mind that manufacturer claims about charging speed and fire resistance are provided by the maker and should be balanced with standard safety practice when charging and storing lithium batteries. SMALLRIG NP-W235 works with Fujifilm X-T5, X-T4, X-H2S, X-H2, X-S20, VG-XT4, GFX50S II and GFX100S among others, offering a sensible, budget conscious option for extra runtime.
