  Our HERO Port Battery Eliminator connects your camera to external power supplies of much larger capacity than its internal battery. There’s no more worrying about running out of power during a time lapse shoot, or a long video session.

  Using a Battery Eliminator increases your camera’s reliability. It prevents two sources of heat: the charging circuit in the camera and the battery itself, both of which get warm while charging. Overheating can cause unreliable behavior or unexpected shutdown of the camera. Using our Battery Eliminator also prevents the camera from crashing if an error occurs while the internal battery is charging.

  Note that the HERO Port Battery Eliminator plugs into the GoPro HERO Port so it can not be used in combination with other HERO Port accessories such as Blink.

• Frequently Asked Questions

  Why Use Our Battery Eliminator?

  Our Battery Eliminator increases your camera’s reliability. It prevents two sources of heat: the charging circuit in the camera and the battery itself, which gets warm while charging. Overheating can cause unreliable behavior or unexpected shutdown of the camera. Using our Battery Eliminator also prevents the camera from crashing if a problem occurs while the internal battery is charging.

  Will the Battery Eliminator work with other CamDo accessories?

  The Battery Eliminator plugs into the camera’s HERO Port, so it cannot be used simultaneously with our other GoPro HERO Port accessories such as our Blink, Bullet, or Dash.

  Can I attach the Battery Eliminator wires directly to a car/marine battery?

  The Battery Eliminator can be powered from a DC input between 5V to 24V. The USB connector can be cut and the wires directly attached to the power source. However, make sure not to reverse the polarity of the wires. Attaching the wires backward can damage the Battery Eliminator and/or the GoPro camera. Removing the USB connector will void any warranty.
