Battery finder: Which battery does your DJI camera take?
Start typing your camera model. The battery and charger appear below, with links to buy.
Small cameras like DJI’s Osmo Action, Osmo 360, Nano and Pocket models are good at many things, but prolonging battery life isn’t one of them. They tend to drain their batteries very quickly. So I always make sure to have spares on hand.
DJI’s own runtime figures are 160 minutes for the Action 4 and 240 minutes for the Action 5 Pro and Action 6, but all of those are measured at 1080p/24fps with the screens off and Wi-Fi disabled. Shoot 4K and it drops a long way: reviewing the Action 6, Engadget got about four hours at 1080p and two hours at 4K. That gap is the real reason to think about how many spares you need.
That only works for the models with a removable battery, though. The Osmo Pocket cameras, the Nano and the Action 2 have their batteries built in, so you can’t just switch out for a freshly charged battery when it dies.
But knowing which battery model is right for your camera isn’t as straightforward as it could be.
The Osmo Action 3 and Action 4, for example, both take the 1770 mAh Osmo Action Extreme Battery, while the Action 5 Pro and Action 6 ship with the 1950 mAh Extreme Battery Plus. The Plus also works in an Action 4, but only after you’ve updated the camera’s firmware — and the original Osmo Action from 2019 uses a smaller 1300 mAh pack of its own that doesn’t fit any of them.
Yes, it’s confusing. Which is why I’ve created these charts: in the hope it makes it easier to get the right battery for your camera and get out shooting more quickly.
DJI Osmo battery & charger compatibility charts
Action
| Camera | Battery | Charger | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Osmo Action 6 | Extreme Battery Plus (1950mAh) (original) Also supported: Extreme Battery (1770mAh) — DJI-confirmed | Multifunctional Battery Case 3 Sold separately | Rated -20°C to 45°C: about four hours at room temperature, 167 minutes at -20°C, and an 80% charge in 22 minutes. The Adventure Combo adds two spare batteries and the Multifunctional Battery Case 3. |
| Osmo Action 5 Pro | Extreme Battery Plus (1950mAh) (original) Also supported: Extreme Battery (1770mAh) — DJI-confirmed | Multifunctional Battery Case 2 Sold separately | DJI rates the camera for up to 4 hours of recording at room temperature and 3.6 hours at -20°C, though it won't charge below 5°C. The same pack drops into the Action 4 and Action 3, and the older 1770mAh Extreme Battery still works as a backup. |
| Osmo Action 4 | Extreme Battery (1770mAh) (original) Also supported: Extreme Battery Plus (1950mAh) — DJI-confirmed | Multifunctional Battery Case 2 Sold separately | DJI rates it for 160 minutes of recording at room temperature and 150 minutes at -20°C, but it won't charge below 5°C. The higher-capacity 1950mAh Extreme Battery Plus fits this camera too. |
| Osmo Action 3 | Extreme Battery (1770mAh) (original) Also supported: Extreme Battery Plus (1950mAh) — DJI-confirmed | Multifunctional Battery Case 2 Sold separately | This is the same 1770mAh Extreme Battery the Action 4 uses, rated for 160 minutes of recording and good down to -20°C. The newer 1950mAh Extreme Battery Plus fits this camera too. |
| Osmo Action 2 | Built-in, 580mAh (non-removable) | — | Neither the 580mAh camera unit nor the 1300mAh add-on modules are cold-rated - DJI specifies 0° to 40°C for all of them. Clipping on the Power Module lifts runtime from about 70 minutes to 180 by adding a second battery rather than swapping the first. |
| Osmo Action (2019) | Osmo Action Battery (1300mAh) | — | The removable 1300mAh pack is unique to this camera and won't work in any later Osmo Action, all of which use the Extreme Battery. DJI published no cold-weather rating for it, and there's no wall charger in the box. |
| Osmo Nano | Built-in, 530mAh + Vision Dock (1300mAh) | — | Both cells are sealed — 90 minutes standalone or 200 minutes docked, with nothing to swap in the field. Rated -20°C to 45°C; The bundled Vision Dock refills the camera to 80% in 20 minutes. |
360
| Camera | Battery | Charger | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Osmo 360 | Extreme Battery Plus (1950mAh) (original) Also supported: Extreme Battery (1770mAh) — DJI-confirmed | Multifunctional Battery Case 2 Sold separately | Takes the same packs as the recent Osmo Actions, so spares interchange. Rated -20°C to 45°C, with over 1.5 hours of recording at -20°C and a 50% charge in 12 minutes; The Adventure Combo adds the Battery Case 2. |
| Camera | Battery | Charger | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Osmo Pocket 4P | Built-in, 1545mAh (non-removable) | — | The 1545mAh cell is sealed in the body, so you top up over USB-C — about 18 minutes to 80% and 32 minutes to full, measured with DJI's own 65W charger, which is not in the box. DJI quotes 210 minutes at 1080p/24 and rates it 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C) only; The optional Battery Handle adds about 130 minutes. |
| Osmo Pocket 4 | Built-in, 1545mAh (non-removable) | — | The 1545mAh cell is sealed in the body, so there is nothing to swap — you top up over USB-C, about 18 minutes to 80% and 32 minutes to full on DJI's own 65W charger, which is sold separately. DJI rates it for 240 minutes of recording. Same cell and the same charging figures as the Pocket 4P. |
| Osmo Pocket 3 | Built-in, 1300mAh (non-removable) | — | The battery is sealed in the body, so you charge through the camera's own USB-C port instead of swapping packs — about 16 minutes to 80% and 32 minutes to full with a fast PD charger. DJI rates it for 0° to 40°C only, and the optional Battery Handle is the way to extend runtime in the field. |
| Osmo Pocket 2 | Built-in, 875mAh (non-removable) | — | The sealed 875mAh cell is the same capacity as the original Osmo Pocket and charges through the camera's own USB-C port in about 1 hour 13 minutes with a 5V/2A adapter. DJI publishes only a 0° to 40°C operating range, with no cold-weather rating and no way to carry a spare pack. |
| Osmo Pocket | Built-in, 875mAh (non-removable) | — | The sealed 875mAh cell charges through the camera's own USB-C port in about 73 minutes with a 5V/2A adapter, and only the cable is supplied — no wall adapter. DJI sold a Charging Case as a separate accessory, but the operating range stays 0° to 40°C with no cold-weather rating. |
Which battery your DJI camera uses
The chart above has the full details. If you just want the one-line answer for your camera — or want to know which of your other bodies can share spares — here’s the same information grouped by battery. It’s drawn from the same data as the chart above, so the two stay in step as new models are added.

Charging, compatibility and temperature quirks worth knowing
- The manufacturers do sometimes come out with newer versions of some batteries. And sometimes there’s more than one model that’s compatible. I’ve noted those cases below.
- With DJI’s Osmo Action line, two battery models are the most common, and from the Action 3 onward they’re interchangeable.
- The 1770 mAh Osmo Action Extreme Battery shipped with the Osmo Action 3 and Action 4, and DJI also lists it as compatible with the Action 5 Pro, Action 6 and Osmo 360 — so old spares still have a use in the newer bodies.
- The 1950 mAh Osmo Action Extreme Battery Plus is what the Action 5 Pro and Action 6 ship with, and DJI lists it as compatible with the Action 3, Action 4 and Osmo 360 as well — on the Action 4 that support arrived with firmware v01.04.07.70, so a camera that has never been updated won’t take it.
- Both packs are the same physical size, and the Plus is worth about 10 percent more capacity. The confusion is in the chargers.
- None of these cameras comes with an external charger, but you get a USB-C cable and charge the battery inside the camera. So charging spares means the Osmo Action Multifunctional Battery Case or the Multifunctional Charging Handle — bought separately if you got the Standard or Essential combo, or already in the box if you got an Adventure combo, which adds two extra batteries and a battery case. To get fast-charging speeds, you’ll also need a PD or PPS USB-C charger; regular chargers will also work, just more slowly.
- Two charging quirks are worth knowing with the battery case. It charges the fullest battery first rather than working through them in order, and when you use it the other way around to top up a phone, it drains the emptiest battery first. The newer Multifunctional Battery Case 3 also works as a microSD card reader and a phone power bank, which saves packing a separate reader. What it isn’t is waterproof, so keep it out of the surf, even though the cameras themselves can go underwater without a housing (18 m for the Action 4, 20 m for the Action 5 Pro).
- There’s an extra wrinkle with temperature. These cameras are rated to operate down to −20°C, but the batteries will only charge between 5°C and 40°C. So a camera that’s still happily recording in the cold can refuse to charge, which looks like a fault and isn’t. Charge fully at normal temperatures before you head out, and keep spares somewhere warm. DJI also asks you to store batteries at 40 to 65 percent charge if you won’t be using them for ten days or more, and to run one down and recharge it fully every three months.
- The older bodies are different again. The original Osmo Action from 2019 has its own 1300 mAh pack, and the quirky Action 2 from 2021 has its battery built into the camera unit, with extra runtime coming from its magnetic Power Module. Neither shares anything with the batteries used from the Action 3 onward.
This is a growing document that I try to keep updated as new models are released. So please let me know if you spot any issues that need updating or correcting.
Third-party batteries for DJI Osmo Action and Osmo 360 cameras
I’m focusing here on original DJI-branded batteries because those are the ones the manufacturer guarantees to work in their cameras.
But there’s also a whole universe of aftermarket batteries out there. They’re often significantly cheaper than the OEM versions. Sometimes they’re the only option that’s available in stock.
I’ve used many aftermarket batteries over the years in many different cameras and have found many of them to work well. I’ve also come across some that don’t. So I can’t give a blanket statement that you should or should not get third-party batteries. Because the reality is that some are better than others.
One thing worth knowing before you buy: DJI states in its manuals that it takes no responsibility for damage caused by batteries it didn’t make, and its charging accessories are built around its own packs. So if you go aftermarket, it’s usually simplest to buy the battery together with a matching third-party charger, rather than assuming your DJI battery case will top it up.
In nearly all cases, the third-party batteries are listed on retailers’ sites using the original model numbers. So doing a search for those should surface any third-party alternatives that are available.
