Purchased New OEM Battery for H Dated 2016

[AH-1G]

I found a local R/C Hobby store that had 3 OEM Yuneec batteries dated 2016, I purchased one.
I was hesitant to purchase the other two until I did a flight time test, since they would not refund my money once used.

I just flew 35 minutes ago, flying as high as 400' then down to 50' flying lazy eights approximately 33% full throttle with camera recording at all times.
winds only 12mph at 400'; no wind at 50'
Landed at 14.5 volts.
Total time 17 minutes 15 seconds.
So those who are in Central Florida needing a battery for your H there are two left.
$139.00.

Wow, I've got OEM & others, have never gotten close to 17 minutes!
10 to 12 is my normal coming in at about 14.7

my old batteries now only give me 12 to 14 minutes.
I bet if I just take pictures and not use the video, I could easily get 18 to 20.
Hmmm, next time out, I'll test that?

I put it on my DY3 charger to storage, it showed 3.73 volts on each cell.
19% power left. ?

That's actually pretty decent air time. Best I've ever got was 19 minutes in favorable conditions going down to first warning at 14.3v when my battery was still fairly new. These days I get 12 to 14 minutes going down to 14.6v so it seems that your new (old) battery is at least as good as, if not outperforming, my 2016 batteries.

I've got 3x 2016 batteries, very low IR still, and good flight times, the date doesn't well at the moment make much difference, Just trying to look after as best as possible.
