FujiFilm X-T2, X-T3 and X-H1 battery information
I recently came across a post from a photographer that uses FujiFilm cameras. It’s a long read but if you are interested, head on over to Dom Varney’s site and look at his blog on Powering the Fuji X-T3. It’s full of great information.
I’ve listed the X-T2 and X-H1 because these cameras use the same batteries and share a similar battery layout in the optional grip.
Of interest is the resistance of the sense pin, 100kΩ for the early version, 680kΩ for the latter. The only difference in the batteries is the lower resistance of the second versions cell/protection circuit combination. The first version cell would get quite warm when these cameras were being stressed with high rate shooting.
I have had the good fortune to have been invited by my good friend Antony Hands of Chasing Summer Photography to take photos at the 2019 edition of the Tamworth Country Music Festival. In 2018 I used two Fujifilm X-T1 cameras, this year I was using an X-T2 and X-H1 with both first and second generation batteries and also a few 3rd party batteries.
The days were ridiculously hot with temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s. None of the cameras or batteries failed me in any way.
