How to Remove and Repair Stuck GoPro Battery

I got frustrated with being unable to remove a couple batteries from my GoPro Hero 6 Black due to the broken pull tabs. That frustration led me to finding a fix and then making this video. If you are here it’s likely because your pull tab is broken or missing and you cannot remove the battery. Well, this was my solution. This video has no voice instructions and background music only. Many viewers do not like background music and that's ok. Just mute this one and the visual instructions are simple to follow.

[@nikkotallo4185]

[@CarveTools]

Sorry I have not experienced a swollen battery.

[@filberttandean]

Genius

Thank you! Hope it helped.

[@Valorios]

it's funny that this shit happens to every gopro battery but they still didn't come up with a better solution

[@CarveTools]

Once it's in there it is pretty much trapped. Thanks for the comments!

[@Valorios]

@@CarveTools thanks for the tip man. had this problem a few days ago and found your video. it sure helped me fix my battery.

[@basspig]

That's not a stuck battery. I tried pulling mine with a pliers and the entire end of the battery came off. It's REALLY stuck in there.

[@CarveTools]

Wow, sorry to hear that. Yep, really stuck. Thanks for the comments.

[@basspig]

@@CarveTools someone Reddit demonstrated a method that worked for me: slam the camera down on a hard bench top a few times. Eventually the battery came out.
