I never got it to work right and WiFi drained the battery fast. I just got this Wasabi Power Extended Battery for GoPro HERO3, HERO3+ (with Backdoors) for my 3+ Silver and just leave it running. 1080/30 and a good 64GB card give me about 4 hours of uninterrupted shooting.
It was a wasabi battery for the hero 3
+1 on managing power.
GoPro batteries suck. Switching GoPro batteries sucks. This is exacerbated when you're tired and hot from hiking.
I used GoPro mount to mount a USB battery pack onto the back of my treking pole (also had my GP mounted to the pole). I used a small USB cable to keep the GP constantly charged via the battery pack. This worked incredibly well but was clumsy.
I finally broke down and purchased an extended battery for the GP. This is not the exact one I bought but it's similar. This battery is bigger than the GP itself and comes with a new backdoor.
I very much like this extended battery. It lasts all day without issue and I can charge it at night when I get to camp using the USB battery pack.
Whatever you do, and however you power the GP, have a great time!
