GoPro battery suggestions

[OldGuyonaQuad]

The 32 gig card I bought does me little good without a back up battery. Any suggestions for my herocam2?

Is it a Hero 2? They have a battery bac pac for it that adds an external battery to it that doubles the life of the camera before needing charged again. I need to get one for mine also. I'm lucky if I can get 2 1/2 hours out of mine on 720p.

I have the Hero 2, but I bought an extra battery. When I got mine they hadn't yet released the bacpac for it. I would rather have the bacpac, but 2 batteries will do.

Thanks guys for the replies and information.

Same here... I actually did a test with mine, which consisted of sitting the camera (Hero2) on my desk and letting it run till the battery was dead. I recorded almost the same amount of time in 720 mode as I did in 1080. About 2 Hr. 20 min.

I am going to buy the bacpac thing I guess.
