Battery Information - GoPro HERO CPPM1 Manual

Battery Information

Your camera and battery are integrated. You cannot remove the battery
from the camera. The battery is non-serviceable. Contact GoPro
Customer Service for all battery related issues.
MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
The battery icon displayed in the camera status screen blinks and
shows and low battery message when the battery drops below 10%. If
the battery reaches 0% while recording, the camera saves the file and
powers off.
Here are some things you can do to maximize battery life:
• Capture video at lower frame rates and resolutions.
• Turn off Wireless Connections.
• Use these settings:
QuikCapture (page 16)
•
Auto Power Off (page 59)
•
RECORDING WHEN PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE
You can use the USB-C cable that came with your camera to record
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.

Battery Information
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.
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 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. Maximize
battery life in cold conditions by keeping your camera in a warm place
before use.
