Learn how to charge your GoPro Hero 4, Hero 3+, and Wi-Fi Remote with the Procharge triple charger, plus tips to extend battery life.
Quick Answer
Use the Procharge triple charger to charge your GoPro Hero 4, Hero 3+, and Wi-Fi Remote batteries simultaneously. Follow the steps below for efficient and safe charging.
Why a dedicated charger helps
Charging multiple GoPro batteries one at a time can slow you down, especially when you’re out shooting. A dedicated charger like the Procharge lets you top up several batteries at once, so you spend less time waiting and more time capturing.
The Procharge is designed specifically for GoPro Hero 4 and Hero 3+ batteries, plus the GoPro Wi-Fi Remote. That means you can keep all your essential gear powered from a single unit.
One trade-off: the Procharge doesn’t charge the camera itself. You’ll still need the USB cable for that. But for battery management, it’s a solid addition to your kit.
How to Charge with Procharge
- Connect the charger: Plug the Procharge into a power source using the included cable (or a compatible USB adapter). Make sure the charger is on a stable, dry surface. Always use a reliable power source to avoid slow or interrupted charging.
- Insert the batteries: Slide your GoPro Hero 4 or Hero 3+ batteries into the charging slots. Ensure they are seated correctly and make firm contact with the pins. If a battery doesn’t charge, reseat it to ensure proper connection.
- Charge the Wi-Fi Remote (optional): If you have a GoPro Wi-Fi Remote, place it in the designated slot. The Procharge will charge it alongside your batteries. Check that the remote’s contacts align with the charger pins.
- Monitor the LED indicators: Watch the dual LED lights on the charger. They indicate charging status and will signal when the batteries are fully charged. Once the LEDs show full charge, remove the batteries to prevent unnecessary wear.
- Unplug and store: After charging, unplug the Procharge and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the charger away from water and extreme heat. Proper storage extends the life of both the charger and your batteries.
