Fuji battery charging question
Nov 8, 2019 21:43:25 #
I now have my X100T and three batteries. According to the manual I found online, the green light on the charger should illuminate while charging and turn off when finished. A flashing green light means a battery error. Well, with every battery I have, the green light flashes. I followed the manual's instructions and removed the batteries from the charger, but I cannot help but wonder if the flashing green light is normal. If that is not the case then I think I must have a bad charger, because I cannot imagine that three batteries, one of which is brand new out-of-the-box, are all bad. So Fuji users, does the green light on your charger flash when charging correctly or do I have a problem?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Mine is on solid while charging. No flashing. The light goes off when done. You probably have a bad charger.

If your camera indicates the battery percentage of charge, you can check the battery before charging and after charging to check if you have a bum charger.

I’ve had all the Fuji’s and I’ve had them where the charger flashes green the entire charging process and stays solid green when complete. Good luck!

Curious if the camera shows the charge on the screen and what does it show if you insert one?

Yep I think you have a bad charger. My fuji chargers have a steady green while charging.

I have the same charging equipment for my X-T2 and it works like your manual describes. It would be very unlikely that all 3 batteries would test bad. Like others have said, I would suspect a bad charger. Chargers are very inexpensive. I would buy another one and proceed from there.

I have Fuji 100T, and had the exactly same problem; the problem is the charger- it is a known fault. I took it in to my local camera store, they said no problem, try the unplugs charger, it is what we use for everything".
Well, I got one, and everything works fine, just get rid of the Fuji charger.!

It sometimes happens with my charger for my XT batteries. If I jiggle them around it sorts itself out. Maybe clean the contacts? If not get a new charger.

Roberts Camera gave me a new charger for free. That was indeed the problem.
