    The Gopro Hero8 will drain batteries very quick! Nothing to be angry about when you are shooting 4k video and snapping pictures, but it will drain them. Be sure to pick up at least two extra batteries. I have 4 batteries myself and it keeps me rolling! These batteries have endured the Arizona summer heat, 100-118, and haven't lost life span. I shot a ton of 4k video in Tombstone and would swap out batteries I had on the charger in the vehicle which was HOT! I pull them out of the gopro and instantly throw them on charge, no issues. Just get yourself a few!

    GoPro Battery

    This new battery holds up well in comparison to the stock battery that came with my HERO7 Black and the dual battery + charger kit. I have noticed that these tend to last longer when recording in 1080p versus 4k probably due to how much less the GoPro needs to work during each recording session. These still suffer from the battery draw as the original batteries when not in use or not stored in the charger kit. The blue is a nice touch compared to the all black older units.

    I tried a couple knock off batteries and they were awful. Either they only lasted minutes or they disabled features on my HERO8. Buy the OEM battery. Save yourself time and don't waste money on the knockoffs.

    I like taking video with my GoPro hero 8. And one genuine battery that I bought on Amazon swallowed so I bought replaced battery at BestBuy and this one still really good shape to use! (I took this picture just few minutes ago)

    I recently purchased this battery and I'm thrilled with my purchase. This battery delivers exceptional performance, lasting through long hours of continuous use. It charges quickly and holds its charge for an impressive amount of time. Additionally, the price I paid was extremely reasonable, making it an excellent value for money. I highly recommend this battery for all your power needs!

    Works great, as expected. Will fit Hero 5 or newer, I believe. We used it with the Hero 8 on our last dive trip and only changed batteries after 2 dives (each around an hour), but never got close to draining it. However, I definitely recommend getting a couple spares (in addition to the one that comes with the camera) so you always have fresh ones to swap out. This is even more important if you are using it while skiing or other cold weather activities as cold will drain them faster.

    When it comes to GoPro bar batteries you definitely want to get the originals! Especially with the new GoPro hero eight and go Pro Max since these batteries deliver the extra power these action cameras need to perform at their best! I have four of them in my bag and I have never ran out of battery time in just one day of shooting or two!

    Must have if you have a GoPro, as GoPro discharges pretty soon and external temperature also impacts battery performance, Best Buy has best prices and easy same day pickup and price matching options.

    I picked up this when I bought my Hero8 because, after years of buying batteries that are off-brand, I have learned that the real thing works best with products. For the price, it is a good extra to have for your Hero8.

    I bought a couple of these batteries for my GoPro and they last longer than the original ones it came with. At $20 each I can’t complain, especially since it’s GoPro brand. Would recommend! I might pick some more up myself

    I always buy the namebrand batteries. They seem to work much better than offbrand. For a few bucks more you get better products. This is no exception. Works flawlessly with the GoPro obviously.

    So as far as the hero action Cam serious, these are pretty much the flagship batteries and they work very well. You basically need these for the hero 8 if you want to use the super stabilization mode that they have. Other batteries just wont-work as far at that feature goes but otherwise they will work in any other GoPro. They seem to last a little bit longer than your regular GoPro Hero series action cam so if it's not much for you to cough up $20 I would recommend getting these for your hero 7's hero 6's and hero 5 GoPros.
