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 5 V 1 A. If you don’t know your
charger’s voltage and current, use the included USB 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 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 such as coins, keys or
necklaces. If the battery terminals come into contact with metal objects,
this may cause a fire.
Do not make any unauthorised 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 use your camera at low
temperatures, replace the batteries yearly for optimal performance.
PRO TIP:
Fully charge your camera before storing it away to help maximise
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 as normal household waste. Many regions’
laws require battery recycling. Check your local laws to make sure that
you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular refuse. To safely
dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from exposure to other
metals 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 US 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, or search for local programmes 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.
