Product Reviews

Great value for quality batteries

I’ve used Wasabi batteries for a lot of my cameras, lights and other devices for years in my career as a professional Director of Photography. At first I was skeptical that they’d work properly or give me the same lifespan as OEM batteries, but it’s been my experience that they’ve performed at or above the level of OEM batteries whether GoPro’s or Sony’s. I just upgraded to Hero 5 cameras from the 4’s and bought two OEM batts and a 2 pack plus charger from Wasabi. I love their two slot charger and USB cord, it works fast to help me recharge after a day of shooting. I also like that it doesn’t matter which charger or battery I’m using, all will charge in either the GoPro or the Wasabi charger, or I can charge them in camera.I’m also using their NP F975 batteries for various LED panels and lights that I work with, and they’re as good or better than original too.The wasabi hero 5 batteries are working fine with the latest GoPro firmware, no problems at all with fit or performance.I highly recommend them unless you really feel compelled to pay twice the price to have the GoPro or Sony name on your batteries!

Good batteries, bad hub…

I’m still very new to using my GoPro Hero5 Black but already can see that the camera goes through the battery very quickly. That is why I decided to look for another battery back to be able to extend my GoPro’s life while out shooting video. Looking around at comments and feedback from other Amazon reviews, it seemed like the Wasabi V03 battery packs were the best choice in price, extended battery life over the GoPro versions and their comparability with the firmware updates.All of that is top notch and gets 5 stars. The issue I have and why I’ve taken away 2 stars is that the charging hub and the cable to plug into the USB are cheaply made and I can see that I will need to soon either get a replacement hub or find another brand when this one breaks.When I first plugged in the hub to power all 3 lights came on “green”. Then I plugged in the first wasabi battery and that light turned red(showing that it was charging, while the other 2 lights stayed green while no battery packs were in them. I then plugged in the 2nd wasabi battery pack and that light turned red but the 3rd light diminished. I jiggled the battery in the slot and the light flickered green and red but did not stay on green. This is a sign to me that the electronics inside the hub have loose connections and will eventually Break off the board and become unusable to a non-electronics technician.The prong cord to plug in the power is flimsy and can be easily bent causing it to become unusable. Wasabi supplies another cord which had two plugs into the port very awkwardly and seems like it’s going to break inside the hub.So for that, 3 stars…

Not suitable for Hero 5, Go Pro software changes can leave you with no working battery!

On a Hero 5 black, the batteries lasted 20 minutes. The battery remaining percentage shown on the Hero 5 screen showed 100% dropped to 80% in 10 minutes and 5% by 20 minutes of recording. Oddly enough, shutting off the Hero 5 power and restarting reset the battery meter to 80% again. The battery quickly discharged in 10 minutes. I fully recharged the batteries and tried again. The camera ran longer this time but less than half the original battery. The sudden drop in battery meter readings occurred again and was reset by power down and up.This battery comes with a cable to update the firmware should GoPro change the software on the camera. This cat and mouse game can leave you with a non working battery while you wait on the next battery update.Product support was sterile asking me to supply all the purchase documentation and read unreadable black ink on a black battery for a lot number. I gave up and returned the units.

I guess it’s not a bad deal assuming you get the charger and one additional …

Only one of battery works. similiar to OEM Gopro quality I’d say, the other one is just dead can. I guess it’s not a bad deal assuming you get the charger and one additional battery for about same price of 1 OEM battery. Still, not worth the hyped reviews

GoPro’s suck batteries faster anything on this planet

I. HAVE. THE. POWER! Seriously, GoPro’s suck batteries faster anything on this planet. Sure, I forget to turn it off when I’m done recording, but it’s not my fault. I really do want 40 minutes of shaky upside down video of me walking around on a Saturday with the kids. So when that happens, I always have several of these Wasabi Power batteries with me. I even take the charger since I can power up in the car. These are just as good as OEM batteries and I’ve had no problems with the latest firmware update for GoPro Hero5.I have however had problems storing all the useless footage I shoot. Looks like it’s external hard drive time. Thank God for Amazon…

These don’t hold a charge

Edit 09/10/17: I contacted Wasabi Power, and they immediately sent out a replacement. The new batteries seem to work fine. I’ve tested them a few times, and so far no percentage display problems. I was impressed with Wasabi Power’s customer service and quick response times.These batteries seem to work, but the battery percentage isn’t accurate. If I install a battery at full charge, turn the camera on, use it for a bit, turn it off, then turn it back on, the percentage says 0% and the GoPro shuts down. If I turn it on again, the battery reading goes back to 100%. So it’s not accurate and a little alarming to think the battery died so quickly. Looks like I end up getting about an hour of operation on a full battery. And the camera is really hot. I have contacted Wasabi Power and will probably end up returning these.

Great batteries

I bought a different set of 2 after market batteries for the GoPro Hero 5 and one didn’t work, and the other doesn’t hold a charge well. These work as well as the battery that came with the camera. Well done.

Wasabi GoPro Hero5 4-pack batteries

Received my Wasabi gopro hero5 battery pack and charged all of them and installed each one of them into my gopro hero5 with no problem powering up. I’ve used Wasabi batteries on my gopro hero2 hero3 and now in my gopro hero5. On my gopro hero5 I still have firmware version 1.21 and I have not upgraded to the newest firmware that gopro has for the hero5. I use my gopro camera as a video witness in my car/truck and esp when riding my motorcycles so it is important that I have extra batteries for my camera and Wasabi has the best price for replacement batteries.

These batteries fit fine in Hero 5

These batteries fit fine in Hero 5, but do not read the percentage correctly. Neither of them hold a charge.

Great when it worked…

I mean it was awesome the first few times but I started having trouble with charging and one of the batteries gave out on me only after its 3rd use.

I absolutely love Wasabi Power and their products

First off, I absolutely love Wasabi Power and their products. Their customer service is top notch and I have NEVER had any problems receiving top notch assistance for them.

Batteries last a short period of time before dying. However, I do like the charging dock as it also has a third space for my original battery as well.
