Battery capacity: 1.3 kWh · Chemistry: li-ion
The Fujifilm X-H2S Battery (NP-W235) is engineered for professional and enthusiast photographers who demand reliability in fast-paced shooting environments. Its lithium-ion chemistry provides consistent power delivery throughout the day, whether you're capturing stills in rapid succession or recording 8K video. The battery's compact form factor pairs seamlessly with the camera body, and its intelligent design ensures safe charging cycles when paired with compatible Fujifilm chargers, making it an indispensable companion for long assignments where power reserves matter.
Understanding the NP-W235's charge-and-discharge characteristics helps extend its lifespan significantly. Li-ion batteries perform best when kept within moderate temperature ranges during both use and storage—storing a partially charged battery in a cool, dry environment preserves its long-term capacity better than keeping it perpetually at full charge or fully depleted. Between shoot sessions, letting the battery rest before recharging, avoiding extreme heat exposure, and using only certified Fujifilm charging equipment will keep this battery performing optimally for years of professional work.
With the fastest charger listed here (Quick charger, 48W) it takes about 37 h 4 min. With the slowest (Standard charger, 18W) it takes about 98 h 49 min. The Fujifilm X-H2S uses the NP-W235 battery with 1260mAh capacity, supporting fast charging for quick turnaround between shoots.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to charge a Fujifilm X-H2S Battery?
- From 0% to 100% with the standard 18W charger, it takes about 98 h 49 min. Using a faster charger shortens that; using a weaker one extends it, see the table above for exact numbers.
- How should I store the NP-W235 battery when I'm not using my X-H2S for extended periods?
- For storage lasting weeks or months, charge the battery to roughly fifty percent capacity and store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Extreme temperatures can degrade lithium-ion cells prematurely, so avoid leaving the battery in hot cars or cold environments. Before your next shoot, allow the battery to acclimate to room temperature if it has been stored in a cold space, ensuring safe and reliable charging behavior.
- Can I use third-party chargers with the NP-W235, or should I stick with official Fujifilm equipment?
- While some third-party chargers may be compatible, using genuine Fujifilm charging solutions ensures your NP-W235 receives the correct charging profile tailored to its lithium-ion cells. Unauthorized chargers may lack the safety circuitry that protects against overcharging and thermal runaway, potentially shortening battery life or creating safety risks. For professional work where reliability is critical, investing in official Fujifilm chargers provides peace of mind and maintains warranty protection.
- How is this charge time calculated?
- We divide the energy needed (1260 Wh times the percentage you're charging) by the charger's effective power, which is the charger's wattage times the battery chemistry's real-world charging efficiency (85% for Lithium-ion (Li-ion / Li-Po)). The same formula powers both this page and our API.
