So I don't know who else has this problem but it bugged the hell out of me. I would be riding along. do some thing awesome, crash, do some awesome side hill or get stuck is some awesomely deep snow... I look down at my go pro and the battery had died long ago....
These batteries are sadly underpowered. at most they last 1.5 hours. in the cold its even less and 20$ a pop you have to spend 100$ or more to be able to recored an entire ride. On top of that who want to be changing out batteries every hour....
So here is what I came up with.
I found a Dummy battery. drilled a hole in the back of the go pro cover and fed the wire threw a grommet. This keeps it snow tight (not water tight) I then made a barrel plug connection from a 15Ah (Equal to roughly 15x standard gopro batteries) battery. Im guessing battery life will be between 13-15 hours. Enough for two days worth of riding. Ill run out of storage long before I run out of battery power!
