Most of the batteries on the market, including ours, have an automatic power saving feature which turns off the battery if the battery is not constantly supplying power to a device. Why does the shooting schedule only last for one day when I still have power in the external battery pack? I have Blink powered from an external battery pack. However, if using a HERO3+ or (older HW: F) white Blink, a charged GoPro battery is required for reliable operation and any external power supply should be attached to the GoPro's USB port to keep the GoPro battery charged. Your power supply should be rated for 2Amps at 5Volts when powering the system through Blink. This allows for the system to recover from a camera crash by pulling power from the camera if Blink determines the camera has become unresponsive. If using a HERO4, the system can be powered through Blink's USB port without the GoPro battery inside the camera. Why has my GoPro battery died when Blink is attached to a power source?īlink's USB port does not charge the GoPro battery. Our website has a link to an SD card speed tester to determine if your SD card has the required speeds for use with the GoPro cameras. You are using an SD card that has a minimum read and write speed of 30MB/s (U3 rating) that is required by the GoPro camera for reliable operation.

Your Blink is running the most recent firmware available.
