In this review the llano 2-Pack 1730mAh Hero 12 Battery and 18W Fast Dual Charger is evaluated for run-and-gun action shooters who need predictable recharge cycles and straightforward power visibility. The bottom line: this kit is best for owners of GoPro Hero 12, Hero 11, Hero 10 and Hero 9 who want two spare batteries plus a compact USB-C charger that uses 18W PD to cut idle time. The reviewer found the LED digital display useful for planning shoots, while the dual-bay design and PD support make it a practical travel companion.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for GoPro Hero 12, Hero 11, Hero 10 and Hero 9, the set ensures correct fit and charging behavior for those camera models.
• Dual 1730mAh batteries: Two replacement 1730mAh batteries provide immediate spare power so photographers can swap batteries quickly during extended sessions.
• 18W PD fast charging: The USB-C charger supports 18W PD protocols to reduce downtime and get batteries back to usable charge faster than standard chargers.
• LED digital display: A clear power visualization shows camera battery level and charging status so shooters know how much charge remains before heading out.
• USB-C flexibility: The USB-C input allows charging from wall adapters, power banks, car chargers or laptops, which is convenient for travel and field use.
• Safety features: Built-in advanced protection is included to help safeguard batteries and camera during charging.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for action camera users who own a GoPro Hero 12, 11, 10 or 9 and regularly shoot long outings, events, or travel where swapping batteries is faster than waiting for recharge. Content creators who value a compact setup with a clear battery-level display will appreciate the predictability this provides.

This product is not for owners of the newer Hero 13 or users who expect the charger itself to store power; the unit is a charger only and requires a USB-C power source. Photographers who need wireless charging or an integrated power bank should look elsewhere.
