Extending the shooting time of your Insta360 X3 is crucial for capturing those epic moments. This review dives deep into a 2-pack replacement battery and 3-channel fast charging hub, designed to keep your action camera powered up and ready to go. After extensive testing, I’ll share my experiences with its performance, charging capabilities, and overall value.

The package includes two 1800mAh Li-ion Polymer batteries and a three-channel fast charger. Each battery boasts a claimed capacity of 1800mAh, promising significantly extended recording time compared to a single factory battery. The charger itself is a compact and surprisingly robust unit. It features both Type-C and Micro-USB input ports, offering versatile charging options. The individual charging lights for each battery slot are a welcome touch, allowing for easy monitoring of the charging progress. The construction feels solid; it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy.

In real-world use, the batteries consistently delivered on their promised capacity. I was able to record extended periods of 4K video without experiencing significant battery drain. The charging time was impressively fast, especially when charging all three batteries simultaneously. The charger consistently displayed the correct charging status, and I never encountered any overheating issues even during extended charging periods. During my testing, I did the recommended 5 discharge-charge cycles; this initial calibration process did noticeably improve capacity and charging efficiency over the first few uses. However, I did notice a slightly slower charging time when using the Micro-USB port compared to Type-C.

The batteries have a solid build, feel robust and show little sign of wear after extended use. The charging process is efficient, and the charger’s design is thoughtful. A small, yet important, detail is that the charger maintains the correct voltage ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Pros:

• Extended recording time with 1800mAh batteries.
• Fast three-channel charging with clear status indicators.
• Durable build quality for both batteries and charger.
• Versatile charging options (Type-C and Micro-USB).

Cons:

• Slightly slower charging via Micro-USB compared to Type-C.
• Initial calibration process required for optimal performance.

Overall, this 2-pack replacement battery and 3-channel fast charging hub provides excellent value for Insta360 X3 users. The extended shooting time and fast charging capabilities are game-changers for anyone who wants to maximize their camera’s potential without the constant worry of low battery. The slight drawbacks are minimal compared to the significant benefits it offers. I wholeheartedly recommend this accessory to any Insta360 X3 owner.
