Battery Information

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Your HERO7 Silver has a built-in battery that can't be removed. You'll
get a low battery message on the touch screen when the battery charge
drops below 10%.
If the charge runs out (or your SD card is maxed out) while recording
video, your camera will stop recording, save the video, and turn itself off.
Here are some things you can do to maximize battery life:
• Turn off Wireless Connections
• Use the following settings:
• QuikCapture (page 21)
• Touch Screen (page 52)
• Auto Power Off (page 34)
RECORDING WHILE PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE
You can use the USB-C cable that came with your camera 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 plugged in, the battery will not charge during
recording. It will start charging when you stop recording. You cannot
record while charging with a computer.
Heads Up: Because the door is open, your camera is not waterproof
when charging.
PRO TIP: Fully charge your camera before storing it away to help maximize
battery life.

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 cable to
charge your camera with a computer.
BATTERY STORAGE + HANDLING
HERO7 Silver 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.
The built-in battery is non-serviceable. Contact GoPro Customer Service
for all battery-related problems.
Do not dry your camera with an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact
with liquid inside the camera is not covered under the warranty.
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to your camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, performance, and may void
the warranty.
