Testing the battery

Learn how to test the battery life of your ShotKam Gen 4 or Gen 4 Mini. Follow these steps to charge, disable sleep mode, and verify battery performance.

Gen 4 and Gen 4 Mini Battery Test

1. Charge your ShotKam for at least 3 hours. The LED will be solid red when fully charged.
2. Disable Sleep Mode: Connect to the ShotKam's WiFi newtork and open the app , then connect a smartphone or tablet to the ShotKam’s Wi-Fi. Open the ShotKam app, select the Settings icon (gear), tap on “Wake-Up Sensitivity,” then select “Sleep Disabled.”
3. Close the app and turn the ShotKam OFF.
4. Now, turn the ShotKam ON into Normal Shooting Mode (one click of the control button; 1 solid green LED).
5. Time how long it lasts before it turns off. Keep the camera in a cool room or under a fan. CAUTION: It will get hot; this is normal in test mode.
   • Gen 4: Healthy battery should last 90 minutes in testing mode. 
   • Gen 4 Mini: Healthy battery should last 45 minutes in testing mode. 
6. Important: Turn the "Wake-up Sensitivity" setting back to Normal before going back to the range.

We recommend shooting in Normal Shooting Mode (one green LED light), then turning the camera into WiFi Mode when you would like to download and watch videos.
