/ Battery BacPac Overview
The Battery BacPac attaches to the back of your GoPro* to increase battery 
life. It’s perfect for long-duration Time Lapse photo sessions, endurance 
motorsports racing or any application in which you need extended battery life.
When connected and powered on, the Battery BacPac serves as an initial  
source of power. Once the Battery BacPac is depleted, your GoPro automatically  
switches over to draw from the battery inside the camera.
You can charge the BacPac using the GoPro Auto or Wall Charger (sold 
separately), other USB charger or a computer.
*Compatible with all HERO4, HERO3+ and HERO3 cameras.

/ Charging the Battery BacPac
For fast charging, connect the Batter y BacPac to a USB wall charger (sold 
separately). You can also charge the Batter y BacPac by connecting it to your 
computer using the included USB charging cable.
Note: Be sure that the computer is connected to a power source. If the LCD window on the BacPac does not 
indicate that the BacPac is charging, use a different USB port.
During charging, the LED status light on the Batter y BacPac remains lit until 
charging is complete. When completely charged, the LCD window on the BacPac 
displays a full batter y icon. We recommend charging the BacPac fully before use. 
No damage occurs to the camera or Batter y BacPac if used prior to a full charge.

To use the Battery BacPac with your camera housing, you must swap out the 
original housing backdoor for a BacPac Backdoor. Two BacPac Backdoors are 
supplied with the Battery BacPac:•  Standard BacPac Backdoor— Makes your camera waterproof to 131’ (40m). 
Use when shooting underwater or in wet, damp, or dirty conditions.
•  Skeleton BacPac Backdoor— Not waterproof. Use in dry, dirt-free 
environments only. Enables enhanced audio capture.
The Battery BacPac also comes with a straight-arm extension, which provides a 
full range of motion when a deeper backdoor is attached to the housing.
