Hey! Much appreciated for this. This was very helpful. To any Indians watching this & thinking about buying Hero 9/10 batteries; I'd say buy this instead of standard ones as these are cheaper compared to the standard. 2 Pack Enduro for 9 & 10 is cheaper on Amazon India than buying the standard ones.
Very good to hear, the only problem is that the battery can onlye be bought on their homepage so far. And they don't send only batteries to Sweden it seems like. bummer. I've jeard that the local resellers won't get them until spring and I need them now when it's cold and winter in Sweden. Very irritating, nothing GoPro can control, it's just irritating. It seems to be some ruel regarding flight transport of batteries, and you can't choose any other transport alternative on their homepage. I wan't to buy at least 4 Enduro batteries...
Thank you for the amazing detailed video. I am just about to upgrade to the gopro 12, and I was looking for information about the value of the new batteries, and your video certainly provided me with the best answer. But... There is really only one major factor that you haven't touched on, and I would appreciate it if you could reply to it. Well, in your video, you've talked about cold or moderate weather conditions. But what about in HOT weather? Will these batteries cope in hot weather too, or will the camera overheat as I have experienced many times with my current gopro Hero 10?
Why buy 5? Surely three is enough if they charge that fast in the dual charger. Charge all three before you go out, use one, put that one on charge and use one of the two charged ones and keep going. I’m sure you have a Power Bank. And if not, one would be cheaper that the cost of two batteries.
Back when I filmed this I had yet to find a great power bank for GoPros. Since then, many great options have been created. I agree that having three with your suggested use case is good.
Nice video, great test results. Why would GoPro even ship standard batteries anymore, except for the extra income they get this way. Keep up the good work with your channel.
Users need to be aware that due to regulations, GoPro cannot ship batteries to some countries (Canada in my case). As such, Subscribers are unable to get their discount. GoPro does not provide subscribers with a discount code for use when purchasing locally.
@@GreatDayForAHike Which I always have off. I'm thinking of getting a Enduro Battery because I live in CANADA and things are going to start getting chilly soon!
Yes there are many use cases where having an external power bank attached would be inconvenient or not feasible. Mountain biking, downhill skiing, many hiking situations, mounting the GoPro on a car, etc. Part of the appeal and benefit of action cameras is their size and the ability to mount them in places where there is limited space. Having an external power bank attached quickly offsets these benefits. Other than a stationary, tripod setting a power bank is generally not ideal.
I wonder what charging method he was using? If charging via USB connected to a computer the time could take significantly longer I would expect. With a wall charger these charge fast for me.
Wow countless videos on this procust and not one person says how long thye take to charge, best source and are they one at a time or together. I mean this is why we buy them anyway. I could careless about an extra 10 min of recording, Pros change to fresh cards ans batteries in anticipation of the segment or shoot anyway....
It depends on what you use to charge it and how you charge it. Use the GoPro dual charger with a wall-powered USB cable and it may take 30-45 minutes. Use a USB cable connected to a port on a computer with the same charger and it may take a few hours. Charging the battery inside the GoPro with a wall charger vs a USB charger connected to a computer will also yield different charge times. I buy them for their cold weather performance and they come included with the Hero 11 now. I also own a bunch so that I can bring along a bunch of already charged ones.
@@GreatDayForAHike the best thing I can find and I hope this helps other people out. Use the c to c cord and obviously, that means you need a usbc outlet from your choice of charging peripheral. Of course go pro sells one (the supercharger or something) for yet another 50-60 bucks. I’m using my Mac to test a empty battery as we speak. I just hate that these companies keep nickel and dimeing us. It’s not cheap and i’ve been playing the game for decades. I also read on GoPro forum that many of the charging ports have light issues so the battery could be 100% and the light will not change to green. That sucks! No point.
Yes, I charge using a wall charger with the dual battery charger. You’re right, the accessories are not cheap. Though I do like it that GoPro has not changed the battery physical size since the Hero 9 so I’m able to use the same charger I have owned since the Hero 9 to charge the batteries for both the Hero 10 and Hero 11.
@@GreatDayForAHike just and update. I did the computer usbc to charging doc (usbc) took about 2 hours give or take for an empty battery. And charged another empty battery in the GoPro hero 11 with a usb to camera (usbc) from a hub (usb) and it took about 2 hours as well. A little less even.
For battery performance in high temperatures I have always found the standard battery to perform pretty well and not really have any issues. So I would expect the Enduro to do okay in high temperatures.
I have gopro 10 and i use my camera as barbecue. It regularly stops while recording etc... Sorry, gopro Couldn't yet any solution about high temperature 😔
I never Said "gopro is my hottest camera" after 20 minutes i can't touch its bottom and sometimes losing data and memories. Paid Almost 500 usd and they are very big problems for me. But i can't see why are you arguing for gopro?
Advertising trash for freezing. Why not on normal room temperature? Oh it crashes and is useless over 25 Celsius? Hope they don't, otherwise in the bin is the place of GoPro 10 and all accessories (for like 400$ only these).
These work great at normal temperatures too. I’ve not had any problems. Including recently when I had my GoPro Hero 11 going continuously on a bike ride for almost an hour on one battery on a hot and humid day while recording in 5.3K. The reason to test in the cold is because the traditional GoPro batteries did not work properly in the cold.
Got myself two of them with my new Hero10. Got over 3hours of Nightlapsing out of them. That is also very impressive to me. Thanks for your video.
Wow that is an impressive duration. I did not test the camera yet on just battery power for night lapses so I appreciate that feedback.
I know this was very time consuming to make. I hope you benefit well from the time you have invested in this thorough test.
Thank you and much appreciated.

Great review! Here in Scotland, I was out filming in rain , sleet, snow today and one or two of these would have been welcome!
Thank you! Yes, these will have a great use case in the weather you have in Scotland for sure.

That is a bummer to hear. Yes, there is some type of rule that certain nations have relating to the flight transport of batteries.

Thank you! Great question. I expect that when the next GoPro comes out in late 2022 that the Enduro batteries may become the new standard.
@@GreatDayForAHike DING DING DING, your prediction was correct congratulations my friend!
Yes. Skiin best battery + diving case+a piece of paper towel inside the case ... a dehumidifier

Thanks for sharing and noting this.
I wish you would've testesd in 1080p because that's all I use.
In 1080p these batteries will last a long time. Especially if you have a wireless and/or GPS turned off.
@@GreatDayForAHike Which I always have off. I'm thinking of getting a Enduro Battery because I live in CANADA and things are going to start getting chilly soon!
@CalebMerceaFishing Yes, cold climates is where I find it to be most valuable.
I just wish we could get them here in Canada
Yes, that is unfortunate. Hopefully this will change at some point soon so you can get them.
Yes and yes
I have found this to be the case with my experience with this battery as well.
Why not just use a power bank and plug that into the camera if more power is needed instead of the expense of purchasing more batteries ?
I guess for action-shooting that's not convenient. For scenery uses on a tripod, yes.

Flooding of the camera via an open battery cover is no fun. None of the keyhole-type replacement battery doors will give you a competent weather seal.
Thank you for info
You’re welcome
so .... I, who from Italy go to live in the Philippines, can not consider this battery useless for me .... correct?
Correct. Even in warmer weather this battery does have a longer duration than the standard battery.
Can we use on gopro11?
Absolutely. In fact the Hero 11 ships with an Enduro battery now.
Interesting
just watched a video where the dude said they charge way longer than the standard hmm, interesting
I wonder what charging method he was using? If charging via USB connected to a computer the time could take significantly longer I would expect. With a wall charger these charge fast for me.

Gopro should a solution for high temperature...
GoPro does have a solution for high temperatures. GoPro released this via a firmware update back in November.
For battery performance in high temperatures I have always found the standard battery to perform pretty well and not really have any issues. So I would expect the Enduro to do okay in high temperatures.
I have gopro 10 and i use my camera as barbecue. It regularly stops while recording etc... Sorry, gopro Couldn't yet any solution about high temperature 😔
Ah I see. I bet your camera gets really hot by the barbecue. Have you found any other cameras that work by the barbecue for you?
