He said he got them from Yuneec end of last year. No idea how long Yuneec had them before that. We'll see tomorrow when they arrive !

As you’ve been treated like an “unofficial” inside source for Yuneec for some time now, how about making some revelations about the company’s future plans?
That could go a long way towards rebuilding customer expectations and trust, while providing more than a few old customers a reason to continue watching the brand name for future model releases. Much of what has been said in the past that would happen has not and many have lost faith. It’s long past time to reveal what is actually in the pipe if Yuneec desires to maintain relevance.

Removed.....from what? The discontinued page? The sales pages? I looked at US, UK and Germany....seems everything is “Out of Stock”.....the US store actually has something to sell.....H Pro and Typhoon 4K.....everything else is out.
So what’s up? Reducing staff....no batteries.....out of stock.....nothing new on the horizon.....
Seems to me (and @PatR ) that the writing is on the wall......

Yuneec has an opportunity to do some great stuff if they desire and have the ability, but to capitalize on it they need to provide consumers with hope.

But it's not just battery modifications, it's if other important parts are not available.
No, I have been comprehensively deceived there by the looks of it !
Despite being assured by the guy on the phone that they came in 'towards the end of last year' I get the delivery unwrapped to find the manufacture date on the box has been obscured with a sharpie, presumably in an attempt to make sure I don't see it ! But he forgot to do the labels inside the packs themselves and so I see these 2 were manufactured Sept 2016.Other than that they look perfect, and I haven't charged them yet, so don't know how they behave. What would we expect to see from packs that old, and do any of you consider them unsafe to fly ?

Aero, I purchased an OEM battery from a hobby store several months ago that had date of 2016. I too was apprehensive, but took a chance.
They give me 17 to 18 minutes of flight time down to 14.5 at landing, with camera running at all times.
He has two more I may purchase.

I have five 2016 batteries, performing well, their internal resistance is lower than some 2017/18 I have. Even though I give them the same maintenance care, but the newer batteries which I got may not have had a good storage life prior to me.
