Duracell DRGOPROH4 Replacement Battery for GoPro Hero 4

Product Information

If you hear the word action camera, the first thing that comes to your mind is GoPro, right? That’s how prominent this brand is, it completely changed how we view the action camera world. There’s also a different version that adds more scheduling flexibility: a scheduling programmer. But it doesn’t work with the standard GoPro housing, so if you need weatherproofing, you’ll need to put it in something else. Cam-Do has their own DRY Enclosure that’s a good off-the-shelf option, or you can try your hand at a cheaper DIY solution by modifying something like a Pelican case. You can find out more information on the scheduler here. (UPDATE: It has been discontinued, but you might be able to find used copies.)

Watson is one of the Gradus brands that is owned by B&H Photo. I’ve used several of their batteries and chargers over the years and found them to work well. This one is available as just a charger or in a bundle with two spare batteries. If you’re new to GoPros, it’s a natural question whether all GoPro batteries are the same. And there’s a simple answer: no, they’re not. It’s important that you get the correct model battery for your specific model of GoPro camera. Yes. You can run the GoPro Hero 4 without battery, provided it’s connected to an external power source via the USB-C cable. However, if you stop providing AC power to your action camera for any reason, then be aware that this will turn it off immediately. How To Extend Your GoPro Hero 4 Battery Life? One thing to watch, though, is that you have to turn the All Day 2.0’s power button on separately. That might sound obvious, but it’s an easy thing to forget, especially because you can’t see the green/red light once the cover is closed. And even when you do have the door open, the green light is unnecessarily small and hard to see in sunlight. But, basically, it’s not enough to just connect the battery–you have to also hit the power button. Waterproofness I should mention, too, that I’m referring here to the official GoPro model numbers. Aftermarket batteries can also be good value, and they often perform well (but quality and quality control can vary). They nearly always refer to the same official GoPro battery model numbers, so a search for these model numbers should also be useful for finding aftermarket versions. Camera Model No.If your time-lapse shoot spans more than a couple of hours by less than 24 hours or so, there are a few different options. Not all of these will run a full 24 hours, and some can run longer depending on the choice of settings you use. This is a product that was released after I originally wrote this post, and I haven’t personally tried it. But now that the Brunton All Day 2.0 is basically impossible to find, this option is interesting and unique enough that I think it’s worth including here.

GoPro Hero 4 is a decent camera, I wouldn’t really recommend buying it nowadays though, there are way better options you can choose from. Smatree also offers a 3-slot charger kit for charging by USB. It includes two batteries, a 3-slot cradle so you can charge three batteries at once, and a USB cable. It does not include a wall outlet, but if you already have a standard 2.1 USB wall outlet or DC charger, you can use that. Or you can use a regular USB slot on your computer (although that often results in slower charging). Please note that these are just the approximate values of the Hero 4 battery life. The exact battery life of your GoPro on a single charge depends upon various factors, like whether you’re using all the extra features of your camera or not. Tips to Improve GoPro Hero 4 Battery LifeAnd with only one battery, you’ll find yourself waiting for it to charge when you could be out shooting. With a charger that can charge multiple batteries at once, you’ll be able to just rotate them out of the charger as needed.
