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

Product Information

You get all the same options as before –the option to shoot in Linear mode to correct wide-angle distortion, plus SuperPhoto for regaining some highlight detail. In good light, the results are very good, with sharpness across the frame and crisp detail. Followed by some outdoor testing. These started outside on a table and then went for my morning commute both inside and outside the cargo bike. 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.

This option isn’t so much about maximizing the life of the internal battery as it is about supplementing that battery life with portable external power. Whether you’re looking for a replacement battery or a spare (or two), here are the model numbers for GoPro batteries that correspond to GoPro cameras. 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. In some cases, there’s more than one model number that can be used in a particular camera. For instance, some batteries have been tweaked and replaced with newer iterations, along the lines of AHDBT-201 and AHDBT-301. In those cases, I’ve listed the most recent iteration, which is both the newer version and is generally more widely available. Things Worth Knowing About GoPro BatteriesMuch like GoPro’s image quality, stabilisation was great last time. It remains great, without any mind-blowing generational changes.

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. One other claim that GoPro makes about the Enduro battery is that it recharges about 13% faster than the standard battery (as long as you're charging the battery in-camera). This could be handy if you're in a rush or are hot-swapping them on a long shoot. For cold-weather sports especially, not just the battery duration extensions, but arguably more important the standby/off performance is even more key. To know that even in some of the coldest weather the GoPro will just turn on and record without fuss is a big deal for a lot of people spending time in the mountains (or, just Finland). If the battery health indicator is anything other than excellent, it might be time to consider replacing the battery. As 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. 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).Maintaining an active wireless connection uses quite a bit of battery power, especially if you’re using features that require the wifi connection (such as streaming live preview). That’s neat, as you no longer need to choose between a smoother frame rate or above- 4K resolution. The Volta is a new release from GoPro that’s a grip, small tabletop tripod, remote control (sort of), and external battery. It’s a very useful way to shoot a lot longer and worry less about the battery running out. You can also set the front screen’s time independently. It has the same duration options as well as a “Match Rear Screen” option. You can find it under: Preferences > Displays > Screen Saver Front Turn Off the Front Screen
