What this battery replaces

The Cameron & Co DS-CS-GDB501MX is a lithium-ion replacement cell rated at 3.85 V and 1250 mAh for GoPro Hero 5, Hero 6, Hero 7 Black and Hero 2018 models. It matches original part numbers AABAT-001, AHDBT-501 and 601-27537-000, so owners of those cameras get a direct swap without adapter cables or firmware updates.

Capacity and runtime limits

At 4.81 Wh the pack stores enough energy for typical action-camera sessions, but continuous 4K recording or cold-weather use will drain it faster than the rated figure suggests. The single-cell design means voltage drops steadily under load, so the camera may shut down earlier when the battery is near empty compared with a fresh OEM unit.

Installing and common issues

The battery slides into the Hero 5, 6 or 7 Black compartment exactly like the original, with no tools required. The most frequent problem is a loose fit after repeated swaps, which can cause intermittent contact; cleaning the gold terminals with a dry cloth usually restores reliable power.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1250mAh version for my GoPro Hero 5 Black?

The 1250mAh capacity matches the original GoPro AHDBT-501 specification, so this single version fits Hero 5, 6, 7 Black and Hero 2018 without needing a different capacity option.

What does the 3.85V 1250mAh rating deliver in actual shooting time?

At 4.81Wh the pack provides the same energy as the factory battery, giving comparable recording duration for 4K or high-frame-rate modes on Hero 5, 6, 7 Black and Hero 2018.

Does the battery use the same interface as the original GoPro AHDBT-501?

Yes, it is a direct Li-ion replacement that slots into the Hero 5, 6, 7 Black and Hero 2018 battery compartment and communicates with the camera’s fuel gauge exactly like the OEM part.
