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 the front screen.
• Turn off GPS.
• Turn off Wireless Connections.
• Use these settings:
• Using QuikCapture (page 47)
• Auto Power Off (page 101)
RECORDING WHEN 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, or other external power source.
This is perfect for capturing long videos and time lapse events.
Be careful not to touch the area near the SD card slot when recording.
Disturbing the SD card could interrupt or stop the recording. Your
camera will let you know if this happens. Your content will not be
damaged or lost as a result of this disturbance, but you may need
to restart your camera to continue.
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.

Battery Information
Heads Up: Because the door is open, your camera is not waterproof
when charging.
PRO TIP: Use the USB Pass-Through Door (sold separately) to keep your
camera weather resistant and the battery in place when plugged into an
external power source.
WARNING: Using a non-GoPro wall charger or power cable
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
Your GoPro 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.
