But call them to discuss the issue before ordering. They're actually
knowledgable. And, I assume (probably incorrectly) that you've already
spoken with Fuji about this.

Likewise, I tried to save money on my 10 yr old Canon Powershot camera
battery. The cheapo batteries were crap. like you say. I paid for a
Canon OEM battery at 4 times the cheapo cost, but got a good battery.
You get what you pay for.

I also went through B&H photo.

That's why I'm happy that I've never bought a camera that takes
anything other than AAs. [well- not since that Ricoh in 83 that
took 4 wafer batteries that were near impossible to find]

I've got a couple dozen NiMH AAs that recycle through the chargers as
necessary. Every couple years I buy 4 batteries. No time/money
wasted trying to find some exotic battery that will be useless when,
the week after I buy it, the gadget bites the dust.

Any reputable vendor should have fresh ones. I've used www.bulbtronics.com
for some.

Froogle will help find sellers.

Beyond that, not much I can add. The batteries look a bit like the
ones my Motorola V-120 cell phone took. they last about 4 or 5 years
with use.

The model number must be missing from the camera? There must be
50 current and past models with the Finepix name. They don't all use
the same type of battery.

If you provide information like whether the battery is nimh, nicad, or
alkaline, we might be able to help a little
more.............................

Or, as a friend of mine did, took his Nikon to Mazatlan, and discovered he'd
left his charger at home. Batteries were $50, and chargers the same. I had
my reliable AA nimh batteries and charger.

But HIS was a Nikon, and a lot better than mine, although we did not ever
get to compare picture quality.

They do if you make AA size a priority when shopping for cameras
