This second set discusses the cold-weather performance, which, for accountability/historical sake, I’m going to screenshot GoPro’s official page/specs here: The second and third though are the big ones. The first is that it charges up to 13% faster. So, what are the claims? Well, there are really three specific sets of claims. And, as you’ll see, that cold-weather performance is pretty impressive. Of course, similarly, since the battery claims more reliable cold-weather performance, there’s undoubtedly some black magic to deal with that too. Likely meaning that all of the changes here are likely more to do with things like thermal controls and regulation that typically heat up the GoPro more at the higher end. And even more interestingly as we’ll see in a second, the extended battery time gains only appear at the higher resolutions – not at 1080p. Most interestingly though, the stated mAh of this battery is identical to the regular battery, at 1720mAh. Equally, since the Hero 9/10 battery is physically bigger than previous GoPro batteries, the Enduro battery won’t fit in the Hero 6/7/8 (or any other GoPro). So the Enduro battery ends up at $20, and the regular battery at $16, which for those either math or coffee-challenged this morning, is a $4 difference.Īs you can see, it’s exactly the same size as the Hero 9/10 battery, which makes sense given it has to fit in the same hole as that battery. However, keep in mind that GoPro Subscribers (that thing you likely got included when you bought your recentish GoPro), knocks 20% off that.

Pricing-wise, the Enduro battery retails for $25, versus the regular battery at $20.

The main/easy way to tell the battery apart from a regular Hero 9/10 battery is the white cap, versus the normal blue cap. Until then, here’s the battery from all its glamourous sides: When my retail batteries arrive tomorrow, I’ll include the final packaging shots here. In my case, I received the battery slightly ahead of public release, and thus it didn’t come in its official/final packaging.

GOPRO HERO 3 PLUS FULL
I’ve since already purchased four new Enduro batteries at full retail prices for my fleet. Nor do I accept any advertising/money/etc from any companies I review.

As usual, no company gets any preview into what I’m writing or shooting, and as usual, it’ll go back to them. Note that GoPro sent over a media loaner Enduro battery to test. Or, you can watch as a certain someone makes a cameo during my recording. Still, if you want to see all the battery testing goodness in real-life, check out the video above. I mean, at the end of the day it’s basically just a chart. Given this is a battery, I’m going to aim to keep this review as simple as possible. And more importantly, figured out whether or not you should buy one (spoiler: yes). Fear not, with the assistance of beer, Ben & Jerry’s, and (more) batteries – I think I’ve figured this thing out. The company has laid out a slew of claims around Enduro battery performance (such as lasting 40% longer), and as usual, if there’s anything I’m good at, it’s repetitively testing something to the point of stupidity. All while only costing $4-5 more than the existing battery. This battery is compatible with the Hero 9 and Hero 10, and, it’s actually the same mAh capacity as their previous Hero 9/10 battery. In other words, it’s just all-around a better battery. GoPro just released their new Enduro battery, which aims to offer better cold-weather performance, while also lasting longer in regular temperatures.
