The battery of the GoPro 4 is not compatible with the GoPro's 5/6/7/8.
The charger is also not compatible.
The batteries from the GoPro 5 onwards are somewhat thicker and have 4 pins.
Helpful answer
Not necessarily. You can also simply charge the battery in the GoPro as usual.
Otherwise, you can also use the following external battery charger: GoPro Charger for 2 Batteries for Hero 5 / Hero 6 Black (Charger, Battery)
Alternative with 2 spare batteries included: Wasabi Power Dual Charger with spare batteries for GoPro Hero 5/6 (battery, charger)

Yes, it can, but certain functions are limited and can only be fully used with the newer batteries.
The Hero 8 has a revised image stabiliser, and generally much higher maximum power loss, which requires a more powerful battery (maximum current, not capacity). The Hero does not need the battery for the Hero 8 in this respect. I myself need the battery for the Hero 7 even with my 8 Black, then I simply can't use certain functions.
I tested the battery today on the Hero 7 black. I was able to record 4 recordings of approx. 17 minutes in 1080p@60hz.
However, it depends on whether you are recording in FHD or 4K.
Yes can be used the camera complains a bit but still works.... Have fun.
There are no bigger ones from GoPro, the solution is to buy several batteries and take them with you.
Helpful answer
Yes they also work with the 8. However, there are a few restrictions on the functions. The camera indicates this when the "old" batteries are inserted.
