WARNING: Using a non-GoPro wall charger could damage
your camera battery and could lead to fire or leakage. With the
exception of the GoPro Supercharger (sold separately), only
use chargers marked Output 5V 1A. If you don’t know your
charger’s voltage and current, use the included USB-C cable
to charge your camera with a computer.
BATTERY S HANDLING
HERO8 Black is full of sensitive components, including the battery.
Avoid exposing your camera to very hot or cold temperatures. Extreme
temperatures may temporarily shorten battery life or cause your camera
to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic temperature or
humidity changes as condensation may form on or within the camera.
Do not dry your camera with an external heat source such as a microwave
oven or a hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact
with liquid inside the camera is not covered under the warranty.
Do not store your battery with metal objects like coins, keys, or necklaces.
If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may
cause a fire.
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to your camera. Doing so may
compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and performance, and may
void the warranty.
Heads Up:
Batteries have reduced capacity in cold weather. This affects
older batteries even more. If you regularly shoot at low temperatures,
replace batteries yearly for optimal performance.
PRO TIP:
Fully charge your camera before storing it away to help maximize
battery life.

Battery Information
WARNING: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend,
deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint
your camera or battery. Do not insert foreign objects into any
opening on the camera, such as the USB-C port. Do not use
your camera if it’s been damaged—for example, if cracked,
punctured, or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing
the integrated battery can cause an explosion or fire.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Most rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are classified as non-hazardous
waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream.
Many regions require battery recycling. Check your local laws to make
sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular trash.
To safely dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from exposure
to other metal with packing, masking, or electrical tape so they do not
cause a fire while being transported.
Lithium-ion batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and
are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation’s (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. We encourage
you to visit Call2Recycle at call2recycle.org or call 1-800-BATTERY
in North America to find a convenient recycling location.
Never dispose of a battery in a fire because it may explode.
WARNING: Only use GoPro replacement batteries for
your camera.
