If you follow these tips, you can charge the GoPro battery correctly and faster.
Charge the GoPro battery properly - how it works:
- Remove the small cover on the left side of the GoPro to access the connections.
- Now take the supplied USB cable and plug it into the corresponding USB socket on the GoPro.
- Now plug the USB cable into your computer or a USB power adapter for the socket.
- The GoPro's red lamp stays on until the camera is fully charged. It takes about 2 hours.
- If you have shown the USB symbol on the display in addition to the lamp, the camera is in USB mode and some power is used for the USB connection. Then the GoPro charges for about four hours.
- To ensure that your camera only charges and is not in USB mode, switch the GoPro off again and plug in the cable when it is switched off.
Charge GoPro faster with the power adapter
So that your GoPro battery charges even faster and does not always need a computer, it is particularly recommended to use a power supply. You can use any USB power supply, for example from your smartphone.
- Tip: If you buy an external charger, you can always charge a second battery in parallel. It does not always have to be an original of the GoPro brand.
By the way, you can also take pictures and film with the GoPro at the same time - we will show you how to activate this function.
