Gor extended recording and cold-weather performance, the GoPro Enduro battery is the premium battery choice. However, GoPro now makes TWO completely different Enduro batteries that are NOT interchangeable. Choosing the wrong one means it won’t fit your camera.
IMPORTANT: There are now TWO Different GoPro Enduro Battery Types
- Hero 13 Enduro (1900mAh) - Compatible with GoPro Hero 13 Black
- Classic Enduro (1720mAh) - Compatible with GoPro Hero 9, 10, 11 and 12 Black
The physical connectors are completely different due to the Hero 13’s redesigned power system and larger battery capacity.
Comparing the GoPro Enduro Battery Types
Hero 13 Enduro Single
Hero 13 Enduro Dual Pack
Hero 9/10/11/12 Enduro Single
Why the GoPro Hero 13 Required a New Battery
The Hero 13’s advanced features demanded more power than the 1720mAh design could provide. GoPro redesigned the battery with:
- Larger 1900mAh capacity for extended recording times
- New connector design for improved power efficiency
- Enhanced thermal management for extreme conditions
- Optimized chemistry for Hero 13’s power requirements
This redesign makes Hero 13 batteries incompatible with older models, and older batteries incompatible with Hero 13.
Key Performance Benefits
Both Enduro Versions Deliver:
- Exceptional cold-weather performance down to 14°F (-10°C)
- Faster charging compared to standard GoPro batteries
- Extended recording times in all conditions
- Reliable power for extreme sports and adventures
Hero 13 Enduro Advantages:
- Highest capacity GoPro battery ever (1900mAh)
- Longest recording times - over 2.5 hours at 1080p30
- Superior thermal management for demanding shoots
Charging Multiple Batteries
Classic (Hero 9/10/11/12) Enduro Charging
For Classic (Hero 9/10/11/12) Enduro batteries, the MaxCam Triple Battery Charger has the now ubiquitous USB-C connector, enabling you to charge three batteries simultaneously. In addition, this charger is is a slim shape, meaning you can easily slip it into your pocket, or in a backpack.
It also has 4x LED indicators on the front panel to show power and charging status per battery. It’s for these well-reasoned design decisions that I recommend it over the GoPro dual charger, whose odd shape seems to have been designed to sit on your desktop.
Hero 13 Enduro Charging
The TELESIN Enduro Battery Charger is a triple battery charger for GoPro Hero 13 Enduro batteries. It has some really thoughtful design features, like storage for memory cards, 4xLEDs for each charge position to show per-battery charging progress and a side USB-C charging port for more convenient charging on the go - just hook your charger up to a portable battery bank and you can re-charge in the field.
⚠️ Remember: Choose the right battery - and charger - for your GoPro model.
Summary
GoPro’s Enduro battery family delivers exceptional performance for extended adventures and cold-weather shooting. The Hero 13 Enduro (1900mAh) sets new standards for recording time but only works with Hero 13 Black. The Classic Enduro (1720mAh) provides proven performance improvements for Hero 12, 11, 10, and 9 Black models.
Both versions excel in extreme conditions and charge faster than standard batteries. Don’t get caught out by buying the wrong battery - choose the right version for your camera model.
