Patona "Protect" series (as NP-W126S replacement, with thermistor)?
1

I`m reading quite some positive reviews for "Patona" replacement batteries for Fuji (NP-W126S in specific), but mainly for either "Premium" or "Platinum", yet being the most recent one, I`m not finding too much feedback on "Protect" series - does anyone have any first-hard experience?

According to "Patona", they sit at the top of the line now:

..., but what intrigues me the most is the claim "Protect" series actually contains NTC thermistor - being what mainly differentiates Fuji`s own older NP-W126 and newer NP-W126S batteries:

Locally, I see both "Premium" and "Protect" for the same original price, but with "Premium" being on sale at the moment I`m not sure if "Protect" is worth going for instead (€20 vs €25, with Fuji`s original ones being €65 a piece)...?

p.s. I would probably just go with Fuji`s original ones no matter the price difference, not risking expensive camera gear for the sake of battery price savings, but as I recently had two original batteries swell[1] (and in a relatively short succession), I`m not sure it`s worth it (especially as my X-T3 is now 4 years old as well).
