Hero 3+ Batteries?

[SonicMoto]

Anyone have a good source of Hero 3+ GoPro batteries? I've seen a few on amazon but they are close or already expired. GoPros website no longer even lists them...

Have you considered a battery eliminator? there are two types available.
Have a look at EN187's website as a starting point. https://squareup.com/store/en187

Are you looking for OEM GoPro batteries? I've been using 6 Wasabi batteries for the last 3 years and have an overall great experience. I bought from Amazon- they are a lot cheaper than GoPro too.

My Wasabi batteries work very well. I got a couple of another brand and they weren't great at all. I would vote for Wasabi!

Another vote for wasabi! I have 3 of their 3+ and 3 for my 4 silver. All of them have been better than the gopro batteries once "broken in".
5 cycles of charging and full discharging seemed to maximize their life. On my 3+black I get about 90 mins per battery recording either 1080p60 or 2.7k30.

Thanks, will check into wasabi brand, I saw a few duds on the reviews at amazon but will give it a shot.

If you do get a dud Amazon will refund you or replace them. They have the best customer service ever.

I needed something for a trip and the piece of gear I needed (I think it was a mic it was a whole ago haha) was out of stock from Amazon Prime, but another seller had it so they gave me free 2 day shipping on it anyways.

They have a 3 year warranty on them, which I admittedly used on batteries I bought 2 years and 11 months ago. They were some of the original batteries they sold and the became swollen. I paid $6 shipping to replace the two swollen batteries and had them within a few days via Blue Nook's great customer service. The batteries I bought more recently (~2 years ago) still hold plenty of charge and show no swelling at all. I think the early ones had bad production batches. Still highly recommended.

Also, I'm not sure what charger the 3+ kits are shipping with but I just ordered their 3 battery hero4 kit with charger and I have to say it is awesome! Their 3-bay hero4 charger charges the 3, 3+ and 4 batteries at the same time. And it takes a micro USB connection so it's very portable.
Love it

I plan on picking up that 3-bay Wasabi. I didn't realize it worked on different gen GoPro batteries... that's pretty convenient.

Ended up getting the battery eliminator unit, best purchase ever. Yeah it's annoying having 2 cables running to my helmet but having a 5hr 30min run time is amazingly nice.

Wasabi ones have been good to me, stay away from ClearMax
