With all of the advances in digital cameras recently one thing has not advanced and that’s battery life. If fact it has gotten worse, much worse. Early point-and-shoot cameras I owned could shoot 1000 pictures or more on two AA batteries, these days a compact digital camera is lucky to get 300 photos on a charge. The reason is precisely because today’s cameras HAVE become so advanced, with large high-resolution LCD monitors, advanced focus and motorized zooms, image stabilization and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. Add to that the fact that cameras have gotten smaller, which means battery sizes have shrunk, so today many people can’t get through a full day of vacation pictures anymore on one battery charge.
If you travel a lot, near or far, you know that recharging your camera batteries usually has to wait until nighttime when you go to bed, and sometimes that may not even be possible, for example if you are camping. The logical solution is to buy a spare battery (or two). Fortunately, and unlike so many of their competitors, buying a genuine Fujifilm-brand battery is very affordable, up to 60% less than similar batteries for some of the other name-brand cameras cost.
Being affordable, fortunately, there is no reason to compromise or be unsure by buying non-branded or no-name replacement batteries. As can be clearly seen by the packaging and enclosed documentation (I attached photos) this is the identical battery to what originally ships with the camera.
This battery is identical in every way to what came with my XQ1/2-series camera. The camera, like so many other cameras in its class, isn’t very battery efficient, especially if you leave the excellent pre-focus setting turned on as I do. I know there is a standard about how many shots per charge you can expect, but that’s a lot like EPA estimates for how many miles-per-gallon you might expect for your car … only an estimate. Using a compact camera isn’t that predictable – some days I use the flash a lot, other days I never use it. Some days I review every photo using the LCD screen, other days not so much. Some days I zoom a lot, other days I might never touch the zoom control. So I don’t count how many shots any more than I count how many phone calls I can make on my cell phone, I measure by how many hours of use I get in a day before I have to recharge. In simple terms, I rarely can get through more than about 6-7 hours using my camera before I start worrying that my battery might not make it. The few bucks I invested for a spare battery is definitely worth it. By the way, I carry mine attached to the camera strap using a nifty pouch OP/TECH USA 4701202 Battery Holster - Black
I rate this battery high because it is a real original manufacturer branded replacement battery for a very affordable price. I can’t ask for anything more.
