This is a quick video on how to change the battery on a GoPro original hero non-removable battery link to where you can find a battery on Amazon www.amazon.com...
For those who may be interested - the battery shown in the video does not have more capacity than the OEM battery. The OEM battery is about 1130mAh according to iFixIt. This one is 800.
Done my second one and it really is that easy, but I cannot do it one handed yet.! It is of course an unauthorized fix but what were Go Pro thinking at the time?
Thanks for the video.. NOW i can get it up and running again.. have been using the "old bird" in my car with external power .. so it had "something" to do.. lol Shout out from Scandinavia.
Hi! I have this exact same go pro and I have had problems with the battery and here’s why. So I bought as a 12 year old kid and my smart ass thought that the only was to get the micro-sd out of the camera was to press the little circle in the top right. So I pressed it so hard that it broke and the little circle thing is stuck in there and the battery has been weird ever since. I can only start the camera when it’s charging so as soon as I unplug the charger, it turns off. So my question is what do I do? Should I turn it in for repairing or should I order a battery and do it myself? And what do I do about the little circle that broke if I fix it myself?
More than likely it would have to be repaired replacing the battery may not fix it if you broke the button it may very well need a new battery but the button problem is going to be a separate issue
Ive bought a go pro hero and it has some issue for charging the battery, i leave it an hour and its not gaining bar or percent once i plug it out to the outlet it will turn off and didnt open again even i click the power button
@@Pyro4100 I've tried to remove the battery and plug again and the go pro works even ive unlpug it on the outlet but it is only gaining 1 bar do you think the battery is defect? Cause the go pro run smooth as intended
Really helpful I just bought one of these gopros for £10 new battery £11. Now I can mount 2 gopros on the motorbike. Cheers.

i couldn't find a battery with more than 800mAh for this model, but thanks for pointing it out.
@@schande I found an 1100 and put it in mine. Still a little loss, but is 800 working alright for you?
@@NickzAndMikz i have to wait and see, it takes a few weeks to be delivered.
@@schande Keep in touch. I’d be interested to know
i received and installed the battery, let it run for three times from fully loaded until empty and it recorded around 2.5 hours.@@NickzAndMikz

This POS GoPro has been my dash camera for a while now only downside is the heat from the sun is not good for the battery
Yeah, I have same issue...
It helps even at the start of 2022, thank you!
Thank dude.what size that battery?my go pro like that almost 30minutes only low bat
Since each GoPro model is different refer to the part number on the battery that's in yours
But my go pro now is same as yours no LCD in the back.i need to buy in online but the battery name or number I didn't know
thhx so much
You could have recorded hands free if you had a go pro....oh wait
🤣🤣🤣
Where to buy those replacement battery? Ty
Search the battery number on Amazon there's plenty of them there I posted a link but it may not be good anymore
Same battery for the hero +?
I don't know but probably all the sealed units pretty much used the same battery
What is this name model? Can be connected with app iphone?
It's the original hero you cannot connect it to the app
thank you so much

@@Pyro4100 Okay 👍🏻 thanks for the help! Appreciate it
hopefully this upgrade will extend my battery life, mine quits at about 2.5 hours.
Not 100% sure on the extension of battery life reality is it's a GoPro they suck on battery life to begin with
How long did the aftermarket battery last?
About a year but the camera is kept in direct sunlight most of the time so that doesn't help
@@Pyro4100 Oh gotcha, as a dashcam?
Thanks man.😎

Sounds like either the battery is shot or the camera is bad

@@Charlotte63567 not sure
how long is the battery life?
Usually about 2 or 3 years
@@Pyro4100 on one charge? God damn!
LMAO@@lillebrorsanvincent2017

I also need battery I'm here in Philippines
where to buy the battery? I also need to gopro Hero?
Thc
Amazon use the part number on the battery to search for it
@@Pyro4100 thanks
Hey did you already buy GoPro hero battery?
@@jijimoto02 yes
@@jijimoto02 I've seen it on the link you sent, but the shipping price is more expensive than the battery.
It helps
Gracias !!! Me paso exactamente lo mismo
TOO EASY DRILL SARGENT!!!!
🤣👍
This battery DOES NOT fit my oriniginal Gopro Hero. It is too long and wide.
Sorry to hear that best advice I can give you is get the number off the original battery and run that through Google
Thanks for the information. My original battery is 1130mA and the Amazon battery is only 800mA. I was wondering if you found a battery.
Really so how do you get cover, channel locks? Seriously if I have to break out my snap on tools to change a battery this video is worthless.
