STK's Fuji NP-95 Battery - 2000 mAH for Fujifilm Finepix X100S, X100, F30, X-S1, F31fd, Real 3D W1, NP-95, BC-65

Not long after purchasing my beloved Fujifilm X100, I did something stupid: I forgot to turn it off, and something pressed on a button while it was in my camera bag. As you can guess, the battery was dead a couple of hours later, when I went to use the camera.Immediately thereafter, I decided to pick up a couple of extra batteries, first to ensure that I'd never be caught without a usable camera again, and also because the X100 doesn't take many shots on charge.So I bought two of the STK NP-95 batteries. Why not the OEM Fuji? A couple of reasons: First, are were half the price of the genuine Fuji batteries -- only $10 each! What's more, STK claims that these are 2000 mAh batteries, and the OEM Fuji is only 1800.I keep all three batteries in circulation: One in the camera, and the other two in my camera bag. The spares are in individual ziploc baggies to keep them clean and to stop something from touching the contacts. (That would be bad.) When I'm shooting, I often put one of the spares into my pocket.Can't say that I've noticed a difference in the longevity in the STK batteries compared to the Fuji.In any case, I have had no problems with these batteries at all. I heartily endorse buying 2x of these instead of 1x of the Fuji NP-95 OEM battery.

I bought 3 of these for my X100s and took them to the Marshall Islands last week. High heat and 99% humidity. I actually expected my camera to fry from condensation because the Marshallese love them some A.C. It held up. So did these batteries. I guess a better test will be how they do in the cold. Anyway, each has been thoroughly used (to the point of complete discharge) and charged at least 1 time and at 2000 mAH they actually last a hair longer than the one that came with the camera (it's 1800mAH). SterlingTek sent me an email before the items ever arrived thanking me for the purchase which I thought was really nice. I paid less for 3 of these batteries than for 1 Fuji brand one. I'm a big believer in, "you get what you pay for" because true bargains in the photography world are rare. I don't own any off-brand batteries for my wedding kit. But these? Just buy them. The ONLY thing I didn't like is that for some reason this comes via Ontrac for Prime accounts (at least for my area.) Ontrac has never been on time for us but that's no reflection on the product itself. I dig it, saved me a small fortune and if one does go out? They're only $10.

My Fuji X100S chews through batteries quickly, so it's good to carry a few spares. I bought three of these STK batteries for less than the price of one Fuji original. I'm pleased with my purchase.Fit and finish on the STK's seem every bit as good as the Fuji. The only difference I can tell is the Fuji battery is off-white and the STK batteries are black. Blindfolded I couldn't tell them apart.AT 2000 mAH, the advertised capacity of the STK is 200 mAH more than the Fuji original. I have no way of measuring this objectively. I can only confirm that this battery runs my X100S at least as long as the Fuji battery. If there is a capacity difference, it's not noticeable to me amid the more important variations in LCD use, etc.Delivery was prompt and well-packaged.Overall, a great value -- much cheaper than the Fuji original and seems to be just as good in all regards.

I purchsed two of these batteries one on 8/30/15 and another on 727/15 and originally gave them 4 star ratings. As of this date both give off a very musty oder after charging and during active use in both of my Fuji cameras. I can actually smell the cameras when getting near my face to focus. The smell is very strong when charging either battery. Fuji batteries are odor free. I would call STK but I do want to risk my over $2000 valued cameras using any replacement STK battery and will just trash these STK'sA slow learner I may be, as I purchased these based on the reviews. Cheap is cheap not a bargin! I have had success with Wasabi batteries in my previous Nikon and my present Fuji's, which I used as back-up batteries. In the future I may purchase Wasabi again but probably just pay the price for the original camera manf batteries.STK Junk - I wish Amazon had a Zero rating.

The battery holds a charge longer than the stock Fuji battery and is inexpensive but of good quality. The seller is all about customer service and addressed one battery which I had to return because it would not come out of the camera easily but they sent me two replacements and a battery charger. The other two batteries I bought are flawless and work so well. Shooting over 100 shots and the battery still shows a full charge This will be great for my audio show photo shoots for my reports. overall for 10.00 each an great dealer and excellent customer serve. I highly recommend them. I have 4 fully charged batteries when I plan to shoot for a few days. I carry three on me and one stays in my charger for easy use if i should ever get to the 4th battery.Frank Iacone

I ordered two as backups for the Fuji battery that came with the X100S. They're identical to the Fuji form wise, except they are black (which I think looks very nice).Charging: I put it on my fuji charger and it charged.Usage: I carry 3 batteries with me: 1 Fuji, 2 STK. I run my fuji battery dry then use an STK. I have yet to have to touch the 2nd STK in a single day. They seem to last about as long as the fuji.I recommend it if you don't want to shell out the cash for the fuji batteries. If you're worried about off brand batteries in your expensive camera, just make sure you use the Fuji one as much as you can to keep the wear and tear low on the STKs.
