SMALLRIG NP-W235 2400mAh USB-C battery

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.

Usage tips

It’s a good fit if you frequently record longer sessions or need spare units for travel.
