I'm looking for a good international battery charger for the FUJIFILM NP-W126(S) batteries.

It appears the Nitecore FX1 may be the solution. I like how it can charge two batteries at once. Hopefully someone on this forum owns one and can give some advice.

If you plan on charging from USB power banks on the road, don't go for the FX1, it hogs 300-350mA of the precious juice itself, that is around 1/3 of a Fuji battery. The latest Wasabi Power flat charger is better in terms of power efficiency, seeping only 19mA itself (since it doesn't need to feed a bright LCD screen).

I was shooting the whole day at a dance fest on Sunday, my 10,000mAh Samsung bank was able to charge 3 Fuji/Wasabi batteries and still have one bar (out of 5) left.
