Wasabi Power HERO8 Battery 4-Pack with Dual Charger - Extra Run Time

In this review the Wasabi Power HERO8 Battery 4-Pack with Dual Charger is assessed for users who need dependable extended runtime for GoPro HERO8 Black and earlier HERO models. The bottom line is simple: it is a practical, budget-friendly alternative to original batteries that gives shooters multiple full charges and flexible USB charging options. The reviewer found the set especially useful for day-long shoots and travel because the four 1220mAh batteries plus the dual USB charger reduce downtime and play well with original GoPro batteries and chargers.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with GoPro HERO8 Black, HERO7 Black, HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black and HERO (2018), so users of those cameras can swap batteries without adapter hassles.
• Battery capacity: Each battery uses premium Grade-A cells rated at 4.7V and 1220mAh to deliver longer run-time compared with many generic replacements.
• Dual charging: The included dual USB charger charges two batteries simultaneously from any 5V USB source to keep multiple spares ready during long sessions.
• Multiple charging options: The charger accepts wall, car, or powerbank input, making it simple to recharge on location or on the road.
• Safety features: Built-in overcharge protection increases safety and helps prolong battery life when left connected to a USB source.
• Warranty and support: Ships with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and US-based customer support in Pomona, California for added confidence.

Who It's For

This battery and charger kit is best for hobbyist and prosumer GoPro users who shoot long days, repeat action sessions, or travel without easy access to mains power. Photographers, vloggers, hikers, and water sports enthusiasts using HERO8 Black or earlier HERO models will appreciate having four spare batteries and a charger that works with powerbanks.

It is less appropriate for users who need the absolute smallest form factor or those using newer GoPro models that do not share the same battery form; likewise, if you prefer OEM-branded accessories only, an original manufacturer pack may be preferred.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Overcharge protection and compatibility with GoPro original batteries and chargers improve safety and flexibility.
• Three-year manufacturer warranty and US-based support offer post-purchase reassurance.

Cons

• Capacity is 1220mAh, which is adequate but not dramatically larger than some originals, so extreme users may still need more spares.
