Optimizing and charging the battery

Optimize your ShotKam Gen 3 battery life. Learn charging tips, power-saving modes, and how to fix battery issues in our comprehensive guide.

Charging your Gen 3

Use the included USB cable to charge your ShotKam Gen 3. Plug the mini-B end of the cord into the back of the camera (twist-off the cover), then the USB-A end into a computer, wall adapter, or a car USB port. You can leave the ShotKam on charge overnight; this will not harm the battery. 

Charging LED sequences:

= Flashing means charging

= Solid means fully charged

The LED will stay solid red once fully charged. Always leave it on charge for at least 3 hours, or overnight before going shooting. Keeping your ShotKam plugged in will not damage the battery. 

Note: The ShotKam automatically turns off when charging, so you cannot charge it and record videos at the same time.

How should I store it during off-season?

Store your ShotKam in temperatures between 32º and 95ºF (0º and 35º C). Be sure to recharge your ShotKam every 2 to 3 months for optimal battery health.
