Can you replace the battery?
Battery dies in minutes despite being fully charged. Can the battery be replaced? If so, where can I get that done?
Is this a good question?

To summarize what Mayer is inferring here, no it's not possible to replace the battery and reassemble the device without being destructive.
@tronke I did not infer that at all. We just don't have a specific guide for the battery replacement.
the glue holding the front to the cover can be softened with heat and the case separated without destroying the case. There are other Session battery, lens, LCD replacement videos with this process.
Use some pure alcohol in s syringe to loosen the glue holding the battery on.
Can someone help me to find new battery for this camera? I canĀ“t find any :(

I have watched other videos of successful disassembly without destroying it, it's totally possible to replace the battery although sourcing a replacement specific to the gopro is difficult, they use a 1s 3.7v 1000mah lithium cell. One can be found relatively cheap that will fit.
