Understanding Compatibility of Batteries Across Generations of GoPro
- Battery Generation
Each GoPro device has its own battery generation.
- Compatibility Within Generations
For some models, compatibility may vary even within the same battery generation.
- Base / Endurance
Up to HERO12, there were both base and Enduro batteries, and in some cases, there can be a significant difference in recording time.
- Built-In Battery Models
Some models feature non-removable built-in batteries.
Built-In Battery Models (Non-Removable)
The following GoPro models feature built-in, non-removable batteries:
- LIT HERO (2025)
- HERO (2024)
- HERO11 Black Mini
- HERO7 Silver
- HERO7 White
- HERO5 Session
- HERO4 Session (HERO Session)
- HERO+ LCD
- HERO+
- HERO (2014)
360-Degree "MAX Series" Uses Proprietary Batteries
The 360-degree "MAX" series (original MAX and MAX 2) uses removable batteries rather than built-in ones. However, they use proprietary battery designs that are incompatible with standard HERO series cameras.
Furthermore, please note that batteries are not interchangeable even between models within the MAX series itself (original MAX vs. MAX 2).
GoPro Batteries: Four Generations
From the original model to the latest GoPro HERO 13 and MISSION 1 series, there have been many generations of GoPro itself, but when it comes to the batteries used, they can be broadly categorized into four generations.
- 4th Generation: GoPro HERO 13 and MISSION 1 Series (MISSION 1 / PRO / PRO ILS).
- Third Generation: From GoPro HERO 9 to GoPro HERO 12.
- Second Generation: From GoPro HERO 5 to GoPro HERO 8.
- First Generation: From the original GoPro HERO to GoPro HERO 4.
As seen in the chart, GoPro batteries from the second generation onwards maintain compatibility across roughly four GoPro generations.
The first-generation GoPro models (from the original HERO to HERO4) used unique battery designs and specifications for each model, making it impossible to use older batteries with newer models.
After the launch of GoPro’s second-generation battery, four successive GoPro models adopted the same updated battery design, which meant you could use a single battery across multiple generations of GoPro cameras. Additionally, starting with the second generation, the battery charging standard was upgraded to 10W, so it’s important to double-check your choice of charging adapters and USB cables.
GoPro Charging Standards: USB-C PD & Voltage Explained
GoPro can be easily charged via USB, but there is actually a charging standard that is compatible with GoPro.
GoPro offers two types of batteries: the standard base battery and the highly durable Enduro battery. Starting with the HERO11 series, the Enduro battery became the default option. In the latest HERO13 Black and MISSION 1 generation, Enduro / Enduro 2 batteries are used across the lineup.
Compatibility List of GoPro Models and Batteries
Are GoPro batteries interchangeable?
One of the most common concerns for users is whether they can swap batteries between different models. The answer depends on the generation of your camera.
While many recent models share a similar shape, there are critical differences in specs, such as the high-performance Enduro / Enduro 2 battery requirements for 4th-generation models (HERO13 and MISSION 1 series). Note that batteries from GoPro HERO4 and earlier are not cross-compatible and are excluded from the comparison below.

4th Generation GoPro Batteries: AGBAT-001 / AEBAT-001
The 4th-generation batteries introduced with HERO13 Black and the MISSION 1 series include the "AGBAT-001" (Enduro 2) and "AEBAT-001" (Enduro). The AEBAT-001 provides a 1,900mAh capacity, while the higher-capacity Enduro 2 (AGBAT-001) steps that up to 2,150mAh. Because the physical dimensions and pin layouts differ completely from 3rd-generation packs, older batteries will not fit or work.
Among 4th-gen options, the higher-capacity Enduro 2 (AGBAT-001) isn't just optimized for MISSION 1 cameras—it also works seamlessly in the HERO13 Black to significantly extend shooting times (and unlocks fast charging when paired with a MISSION 1 body).
While the standard HERO13 Black battery (AEBAT-001) can also power MISSION 1 cameras, opting for the 2,150mAh AGBAT-001 yields a huge real-world advantage in battery life. If you're purchasing new spare batteries today for either a HERO13 Black or MISSION 1, going with the AGBAT-001 (Enduro 2) is by far the smarter move.
| Battery Model Number | Battery Capacity | Generation | Type | Compatible Models |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AGBAT-001 | 2,150mAh | 4th Generation | Endurance (Enduro 2) | HERO 13 / MISSION 1 Series |
| AEBAT-001 | 1,900mAh | 4th Generation | Endurance (Enduro) | HERO 13 / MISSION 1 Series |
3rd Generation GoPro Battery: ADBAT-011/ADBAT-001
The batteries used from the GoPro HERO9 to HERO12 are "ADBAT-011" and "ADBAT-001." Up to HERO10 Black, the base battery "ADBAT-001" was standard, while HERO11 and 12 come standard with the Enduro battery "ADBAT-011." These are incompatible with the 2nd-generation batteries.
Both 3rd-generation GoPro batteries feature a 1,720mAh capacity—about 40% larger than the 2nd generation—enabling longer recording times in high-power modes like 4K.
The "ADBAT-011" Enduro model is marketed as "high endurance," but its capacity is the same as the base battery. However, swapping to ADBAT-011 in pre-HERO11 models allows for up to 40% longer shooting and up to 13% faster charging. It's designed to maintain stable performance in cold environments, such as skiing1.
| Battery Model Number | Battery Capacity | Generation | Type | Compatible Models |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADBAT-011 | 1,720mAh | 3rd Generation | Endurance | HERO 9–12 |
| ADBAT-001 | 1,720mAh | 3rd Generation | Base | HERO 9–12 |
Because these batteries are compatible up to the fairly recent HERO 12 Black, it's recommended to buy spares while they're still available.
While HERO 9–12 batteries look similar to HERO 13, they are not physically compatible due to the new terminal design of AEBAT-001.
2nd Generation GoPro Battery: AJBAT-001/AABAT-001-AS
The 2nd generation adopted by GoPro HERO 5 through HERO 8 includes "AABAT-001-AS" which originates from the GoPro HERO 5 series, and "AJBAT-001" which originates from the GoPro HERO 8 series and supports high output. Both are compatible with each other, but they are not compatible with 4th generation GoPro batteries or 3rd generation GoPro batteries. Also, note that GoPro HERO 8 is not compatible with the older model battery "AABAT-001-AS".
Both 2nd generation GoPro batteries have a somewhat limited battery capacity of 1220mAh, so spare batteries are almost essential for long recording sessions. For a full day of shooting, you may need 5 or more batteries, so you'll want to purchase not only spare batteries but also a charging box that can charge multiple batteries simultaneously.
| Battery Model Number | Battery Capacity | Generation | Type | Compatible Models |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJBAT-001 | 1,220mAh | 2nd Generation | Endurance | HERO 5–8 |
| AABAT-001-AS | 1,220mAh | 2nd Generation | Base | HERO 5–8 |

GoPro Battery FAQ
Are GoPro batteries interchangeable across all models?
No, they are not universal.
GoPro batteries are categorized into distinct generations. While models within the same generation (e.g., HERO9 through HERO12) can typically share batteries, they are not compatible across different generations .
The 4th generation (HERO13), 3rd generation (HERO9–12), and 2nd generation (HERO5–8) each use different power standards and shapes.
Can I use my HERO12 batteries in the new HERO13 Black?
No.
The HERO13 Black uses a new battery model called AEBAT-001.
GoPro significantly redesigned the battery shape and internal terminals for this generation, so batteries from the HERO12 and earlier models will physically not fit into the HERO13.
What is the difference between an Enduro battery and a Standard battery?
Performance in extreme conditions and faster charging.
While the capacity (mAh) is often the same, Enduro batteries are specifically designed to remain stable in freezing temperatures where standard batteries might fail. Even in moderate temperatures, Enduro batteries can extend recording times by up to 40% and charge up to 13% faster than base models.
Starting with HERO11, Enduro became the standard.
Is the HERO8 Black compatible with older batteries from the HERO7 or HERO5?
There are limitations.
While they may physically fit, the HERO8 Black requires higher power output for features like HyperSmooth.
Using an older battery (AABAT-001-AS) may trigger a warning message and limit your camera's performance. It is highly recommended to use the AJBAT-001 or newer for HERO8.
