Battery Information

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Here are some things you can do to maximize battery life:
• Capture video at lower frame rates and resolutions.
• Use the Screensaver and lower the screen Brightness.
• Turn off GPS.
• Turn off Wireless Connections.
• Use these settings:
• QuikCapture (page 36)
• Auto Power Off (page 88).
RECORDING WHEN PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE
You can use the USB-C cable that came with your
Regulatory Model Number SPBL1 to shoot
videos and photos while your camera is plugged in to a USB-charging
adapter, the GoPro Supercharger, another GoPro charger, or the
GoPro Portable Power Pack. This is perfect for capturing long videos
and time lapse events.
Even though your camera is charging, the battery will not charge during
recording. It will start charging when you stop recording. You cannot
record while your camera is plugged into a computer.
Heads Up: Because the door is open, your camera is not waterproof
when charging.

Battery Information
WARNING: Using a non-GoPro wall charger could damage
your camera battery and could lead to fire or leakage. With the
exception of the GoPro Supercharger (sold separately), only
use chargers marked Output 5V 1A. If you don't know your
charger's voltage and current, use the included USB-C cable
to charge your camera with a computer.
BATTERY STORAGE + HANDLING
Regulatory Model Number SPBL1 is full of sensitive components, including
the battery. Avoid exposing your camera to very hot or cold temperatures.
Extreme temperatures may temporarily shorten battery life or cause your
camera to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic temperature
or humidity changes as condensation may form on or within the camera.
Do not dry your camera with an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or a hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact
with liquid inside the camera is not covered under the warranty.
Do not store your battery with metal objects like coins, keys, or necklaces.
If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may
cause a fire.
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.
