Two included AABAT-001 cells power the light and deliver up to nine hours of continuous use at the 120-lumen setting. Batteries are compatible with several GoPro camera models for added flexibility.
Enough runtime for multiple short dives or one long session without frequent recharges. Shared battery compatibility simplifies kit management for GoPro users.
