GoProDual Battery Charger for HERO3+/HERO3) (GoPro Official Accessory)

Great and helpful buy! I bought this because it was about half off the usual price, so for $16! I'm really happy with this purchase, of all the accessories to have for a GoPro, the dual battery charger is a must! I have 3 GoPro batteries and this charger is very efficient, charges 2 at a time and pretty fast as well! The build quality is on par with other GoPro brand accessories, it has a grippy surface, so you can't drop it all that easily! Also you don't have to only use GoPro branded batteries, you can use the other off brands too! I would definitely recommend this charger if you have more than 1 GoPro battery, as it will save you a lot of time, patience and money!

Works as designed. Saved lots of money buying through here after we lost our charger. After not being able to find it before going to the sand dunes I figured oh well, we can buy one while in Oregon, it will be cheaper then Washington especially with no sales tax... WRONG! Fred Meyers wanted $69.99 for the GoPro brand charger identical to this one. I said no way and we'd just have to go without getting any great riding videos. Thankfully the neighbors camped next to us we had helped out the night before had a charger and charged our batteries but as soon as we got home I checked amazon and was astonished by how much I was saving. Then of course 2 weeks after getting the new one, we found our charger in the guest bedroom under a blanket oddly. But oh well its really nice having 2 now! 1 for the house and 1 for the truck for charging on the go! Charger even held up all weekend at the Gorge in 103+ degree weather without over heating.

This is such a quick way to recharge your GoPro batteries after an exciting day of adventures. All you have to do is remove the battery from your camera and put them in the slots. Then plug it into an outlet and the light will come on to let you know that it is charging up. Then a green light will come up to let you know that it is done charging. I usually just leave it overnight and take it out in the morning.It will charge your batteries about the same time your camera charges it, but you can do two at the time it takes for one. So you can do more action adventure scenes. This is from GoPro not an after market one, so it is fully compatible with your 3 and 4 series cameras. It has a nice rubber grip, so that it does not slip out of your hand, making it feel nice and solid.

GoPro is KING of actions-cams. This unique- EVEOLVED charge is a NEXT LEVEL of progress to the legacy of the other versions I had. Simple design, function, and PROVED worthy of the cost. SAVE time and money with this versatile charger for GoPro batteries (model 3, 3+, and beyond). This all-in is helpful eliminating EXTRA parts/pieces to carry around and prevents misplacing batteries when NOT BEING CHARGED. LED Light goes GREEN when charge is complete- AMBER when charging. . . can't be easier!

Does what it says it will. Nothing fancy, just charging two batteries at a time. Small and compact which is nice if you are traveling, you can carry it in your pocket if you wanted. I am having issues with my GoPro charging via the plug on the camera, so that what led me to this. Works good, no issues.

Received charger and placed two batteries in it, works great.

After using my original older Wasabi single battery charger a few times, I didn't appreciate the 3.5 hr charge time (battery was not totally dead either).And it's bulky and charges only 1 battery at a time.( http://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-AHDBT-201-AHDBT-301-AHDBT-302/dp/B00AAIPT76/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1435348061&sr=1-3 , Item model number: KIT-BTR-Hero3-LCH-Hero3-01 )So I went looking for a faster charger , and a dual charger.I found this OEM GoPro, dual charger.And also found a newer dual Wasabi charger.The newer dual Wasabi's published their ratings for the currents (higher than the older single one)... but the GOPRO didn't.(the more current, the faster you can charger a battery - to a point , too much cause too much heating = destroy a battery)so wasn't sure which would be better.So bought the GOPRO dual the the newer Wasabi dual.I did a test comparing this OEM GoPro with the Wasabi newer dual charger I bought from Amazon at the same time..The "Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger" Part Number KIT-US-AHDBT302-01.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2VIR2M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00Look and feel of this GOPRO is top rate OEM quality stuff.There is a dull grippy feeling coating on it's surfaces.BUT For the price, you do NOT get a AC USB wall adapter for 12v USB adapter, and no battery.You only get the charger body shown, that holds the batteries, and an annoyingly short usb mating cable.The Wasabi hardware feels well made as well.All bright shinny black hard plastic, and feels solid.For my testing below:I used the AC USB adapter Wasabi supplied with the Wasabi kit.For the GOPRO, I had to find one, I had a SAMSUNG AC USB adapter with the same ratings as the Wasabi.5V @ 2.1a .So Game on...Apples and Apples for a power source.(NOTE: The Wasabi AC USB adapter actually has two outputs, A 2.1A one and a 1A one, of course I used the 2.1A one for the test, and did not plug anything into the 1A USB output.)So yea the GOPRO works and looks and feels well made, they both work, but who's the fastest charger?I used the two NEW Wasabi batteries that came with the new Wasabi kit I just bought.(I've been having great luck with the 2 Wasabi batteries I already owned... I only have 1 OEM GOPRO battery).(I now have a total of 4 Wasabi batteries)Each time I took the time to allow the battery to fully discharge in my Hero3+Black, till the camera shut off.Typically saw 1hr and 5mins thru 15mins, camera sitting recording at 1080p/60frames, I had WIFI on too.After discharged, I let the batteries cool down before charging, and cleared the data card (using the GoPro battery)No matter the charger, the Run times were constant, within 5-10minutes of each other, close enough.Charge times is what I was really interested in.With only 1 battery in each dual charger.The Wasabi took 2hrs.This GOPRO took 2.5hrs (still a lot better than the 3.5hrs on a ~85% discharged battery with my original Wasabi single battery charger)With two batteries in each dual charger...The Wasabi took 2hrs (yes, one or two batteries didn't change the charge time) (batteries finished within 5mins of each other).This GOPRO took 4.25hrs (what I feared) (both batteries finished at Exactly the same time).So, if you bought this GOPRO charger, it'll do the job well enough with 1 battery at a time, but poor charge time with two totally drained batteries at the same time.For about 40% less on cost, the Wasabi dual charger kit gives a TON more value over the GoPro dual charger....You get:- A very powerful AC USB adapter.- A very powerful 12V USB adapter.- A longer USB cable (compared to the GoPro dual charger).- And apparently a much better dual battery charger (compared to the GoPro dual charger).- AND TWO batteries.The GoPro:- Dual battery charger.- Short USB Cable.The Wasabi kit is the total package , ready to roll dual battery package..("Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger" Part Number KIT-US-AHDBT302-01.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2VIR2M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 )The GOPRO OEM dual charger isn't ready to roll , and it's more expensive, and a slower charger..(GoPro Dual Battery Charger for Hero 3 and Hero 3+ , Item model number: AHBBP-301http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GO4GKXM?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0)

The charger is great as I can charge two batteries at once. The LED Light indicates that the battery is charging if it's an Amber color and once the battery is fully charged it turns green. It comes with a USB so you can just plug it into a USB Adapter to the wall or on your computer/laptop. Please note that this only charges batteries for GoPro Hero 3/3+.
