Battery Information
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to your camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and performance, and may
void the warranty.
Heads Up: Batteries have reduced capacity in cold weather. This affects
older batteries even more. If you regularly shoot at low temperatures,
replace batteries yearly for optimal performance.
PRO TIP: Fully charge your camera before storing it away to help
maximize battery life.
WARNING: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend,
deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint your
camera or battery. Do not insert foreign objects into any
opening on the camera, such as the USB-C port. Do not use
your camera if it's been damaged—for example, if cracked,
punctured, or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing
the integrated battery can cause an explosion or fire.

Battery Information
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Most rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are classified as non-hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
Many regions require battery recycling. Check your local laws to make
sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular
trash. To safely dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from
exposure to other metal with packing, masking, or electrical tape so they
do not cause a fire while being transported.
Lithium-ion batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and
are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. We encourage
you to visit Call2Recycle at call2recycle.org or call 1-800-BATTERY
in North America to find a convenient recycling location.
Never dispose of a battery in a fire because it may explode.
WARNING: Only use GoPro replacement batteries, power
cables, and battery charging accessories or devices with your
camera.
Using an older GoPro battery or non-GoPro battery could
greatly limit your camera's performance, will void your
warranty, and may cause fire, electric shock or other safety
risk.
