Wasabi Batteries
Dec 8, 2016 06:29:28 #
Hi all: Has anyone used these batteries? I am looking to add a couple of spares for my Sony A6500. They are np-fw50. Manufacturers price is about $60 for one. Amazon and other places offer two Wasabi batteries and a charger for $25.

I've used lots of Wasabi for various cameras with no problems. I recently got this dual charger with two batteries for an A6000.

I got about 1 year out of one I bought for my Nikon D4. Not impressed. You may have better luck. I just bought OEM. It sucks they cost so much, but it has lasted me twice as long as the wasabi did.

No problems with mine. I like being able to charge two at one time using the Nikon charger and the Wasabi.

Bought a charger and batteries for a Panasonic LX100. Everything works flawlessly.

I have been using them a few years, work fine, hold a charge well.
Both my bodies (6D & 7DII) use the same battery and I have two Canon and 6 Wasabi batteries, enough to carry two sets for the battery grips of both cameras. If that isn't enough to get by, well I have the AA adapters for both grips and keep enough rechargeable AAs to load my flash and external power pack twice (24 AAs, no I don't "carry" them all at once, I keep all those spares in a camera bag often left in the car if I am not working too far away from parking, I also have a backpack camera bag that will hold a lot of stuff)

I've been using Wasabi batteries in my a6000 for a couple of years. So satisfied that I purchased two more for my RX100III. Am about to order another two + the charger for a Fuji X-E2.

Haven't used mine a lot since purchasing them, but so far I can't tell any difference between those and the much-more-expensive Canon batteries.

I have used for several years for my Panasonic Lumix FZ200. No problem whatsoever. Holds a charge as well the original Lumix batteries.
