No one hurt Made Sep 26, 2023, sent to the company Sep 28, 2023, published by CPSC Oct 13, 2023
The product, in the report: GoPro Hero 8 Black battery - 3.85V, 1220mAh, 4.70 Wh. It is one of two that came in a GoPro Hero 8 Black camera bundle sold by Costco. It has the GoPro label on it and is an official battery.
While heli-skiing in February 2022, my GoPro camera locked up and stopped recording video. I lost around 20 minutes of video though the audio kept recording. At the time I could not tell what the problem was and swapped out batteries. A few months ago (2023), I noticed that there was something wrong with the battery because it would not come out of the camera - it is bulged out on each long side. Since it is a Lithium-ion battery, and a potential fire hazard upon failure, I thought I should document this.
