Rechargeable Battery (HERO9 & HERO10 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory ADBAT-001

Product Information

What to look for: Make sure that the battery is specifically for the HERO9 or HERO10. Batteries designed for earlier GoPro models will not work in the HERO10. Enduro Battery for GoPro HERO9 The new sensor also brings the ability to grab a 14.7-MP still image from videos. That's a high enough resolution to be perfectly usable not just on the web, but in print. The great thing about this is that you can leave the camera in 5K video mode and then pull out high-quality still images later, so there's never a chance you'll miss the action. The imaging sensor has seen a resolution bump for the first time since the Hero 3. The new sensor allows the Hero 9 to capture 20MP stills, up from 12MP, and record video at up to 5K. While at first glance this may seem like an odd resolution (how many people do you know running 5K displays?), in practice, it’ll allow you to crop in further during editing for more precise framing. Shooting in 5K to edit and export in 4K should in general also provide you with a cleaner, less noisy final image. If you’re still looking for more details about your GoPro battery, here I’ll provide a close look at the battery of the eight latest GoPro models: 1. GoPro Hero 12 Battery Life

I categorized these tips as optional because they won’t suit all GoPro users. Still, some users can highly benefit from them. Here they are: Alternatively, you can do it in the GoPro Quik mobile app by going to: Camera Preferences > GPS Don’t Use Wireless Connections You can comfortably use your GoPro with a 30 to 50% display brightness level. Some even use their cams with a 10% brightness level.

With 5K recording, a front-facing screen and a bigger battery, GoPro’s Hero 9 Black is the best action camera yet

You can use it in place of the standard battery. You might see a slight improvement in battery endurance in “normal” temperatures. But it’s in cold temperatures where this battery comes into its own. While the hardware upgrades are welcome, much of what's really exciting about the Hero 9 lies in the software. In fact, there are too many software upgrades to cover them all in detail, but two deserve special mention. The first is Scheduled Capture. If you've ever wanted to do a sunrise time-lapse but hate waking up early, this one is for you. You can set up your shot, leave the camera outside your tent, and sleep in while the Hero 9 does all the work. The new 5K/30p mode certainly captures more detail than any other GoPro flagship, particularly when you switch to the high 100Mbps bit-rate mode. File sizes also aren't noticeably bigger thanks to the use of the efficient HEVC codec in some modes, although they can very demanding on your computer. Cold ambient temperatures pose challenges for any device using lithium-ion batteries, from cameras to Teslas. Lithium batteries don’t perform well when they’re cold.

That way, having extra batteries allows you to keep shooting for hours. When your standard battery runs out at any time, you’ll simply set in another one and continue. This GoPro model comes with a battery capacity of 1500mAh, which is slightly less than the regular Hero 11. If the battery health indicator is anything other than excellent, it might be time to consider replacing the battery. Power banks are stupidly easy to use. All you need is to plug in the USB-C cable in the port under the camera’s side door. Still, this comes at the cost of consuming significant power due to the wireless connection between the camera and the other device.

Big changes, slightly rough edges

There are also other aftermarket grips that offer similar functionality in terms of supplying power (but not the remote control feature). The setting you’re looking for is called Screen Saver Rear, and you can find it under: Preferences > Displays > Screen Saver Rear Remember that while the power bank cable is plugged in, your GoPro becomes non-water-resistant. Solar Chargers It’s crucial to remember this simple relation before reading the following numbers. In this section, I’ll provide you with the average battery life range of 15 GoPro models: GoPro Model Shooting in the dedicated photo mode still has some advantages, particularly the ability to shoot RAW images, but in my testing I was more than happy with the JPG results pulled from video 95 percent of the time. That's primarily how I've been using the Hero 9—always in video mode. I figure it's better to have the image in 14.7-megapixel JPG than miss the shot entirely in a quest to get a RAW image.

The battery of the 11 Mini is also non-removable, unlike the battery of the standard Hero 11. 4. GoPro Hero 10 Battery Life You can even use extra Enduro batteries if your GoPro is a Hero 9 or a newer model. These batteries are perfect for shooting in cold temperatures. The Volta Grip The second major update is to HyperSmooth, which is now at version 3.0. Designed to cut down on camera shake even in incredibly jolting and bumpy filming scenarios, the latest version is nothing short of astounding. GoPro sent me a radio-controlled car to test this out, and I drove it through the roughest stretches of the woods around my house. The resulting video looks like it was shot on a professional gimbal; it really is that smooth.Nevertheless, the Hero 10 offers 5K resolution shooting at 60fps. This isn’t the case with Hero 9, which only allows you to shoot 5K at 30fps. 5. GoPro Hero 9 Battery Life High display brightness consumes a considerable amount of battery life, and you don’t need it in most cases. But the addition of HyperSmooth Boost to the 4K/60p and 5K/30p modes probably won't be a huge deal for many people, because in most situations setting HyperSmooth to 'high' (which is a 10% crop, rather than Boost's 25% crop) is enough to smooth out any judder. Turning the camera off when you’re not using it is an obvious and easy win for battery life. You can turn it off manually, of course, but you can also change the setting at which it will turn itself off after a duration of inactivity.
