Hello everyone, new here
I just bought from Amazon.de a new NP-W126S for my X100V and the writing on the battery is not the usual “LITHIUM ION BATTERY”but instead it says “RECHARGEABLE LI-ON BATTERY”. Also, it has an UK/CA printed icon that the original battery that came with my camera doesn’t have.
Also, inside the packaging, there’s a little paper with Fuji’s Imaging address in Germany and a QR code that when scanned, takes you to the Italian Fuji store. Weird…
I weighted the 2 batteries and the original one comes at 46.9 grams and the suspicious one at 47.3 grams. Perhaps this is within tolerances, don’t know.
The serial number on the original starts with “H” that I believe corresponds to 2021, the date I got the camera. The “new” one says “F” that corresponds with the same logic to 2023 so… question is, has Fujifilm changed the label on the 2023 batteries or I’ve got a fake one?
any help would be appreciated!
