From people talking on the internet a lot of Bestbuys have them back in stock at that price also.

I just noticed that Best Buy has them available again for shipping for $79.99 w/Free delivery also. Last week you couldn't ship them now this week they can. Not sure what is going on with Best Buy. Amazon is a good deal if you have Prime. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for posting this thread. Although I'm not needing any right now I appreciate you passing on what you found!!!!

Your welcome, you don't see them for this price very often so it's a good time to stock up

With 4 already in rotation, I really don't need another battery yet, but I wonder how long they'd last if the box was not opened?

Kent,

I've always wondered about that. I had two replaced under warranty. If the S/Ns are sequential, my replacements were older than my failed batteries. And one of my replacements was dead on arrival and had to be replaced.

So when I see batteries on sale I wonder if they are old and the sale is to rotate stock?

People have reported getting replacements from Autel that already have 4 or 5 cycles on them. My last one had 3 cycles so I think they have someone going through the stock at least at Autel and cycle them as need be.
Never really asked but that is my guess. Now the ones from Amazon, Ebay and bestbuy who knows what they do with them.

Somewhere on a thread someone reporting buying a new battery and getting an old one, wasn't even in the right box. Can't remember where I saw that.

Autel just got in a new shipment of batteries at the end of October so all these batteries 'should' be new.

If someone gets one and posts the SN we might know.

Last night I had a battery do that stupid "critical land" thing on me again. Fortunately I was hovering overhead but still landed in a corn field. Grrrrrrr......

Needless to say I was a bit paranoid on the next battery as I followed 7 pieces of farm equipment harvesting corn. Would have been the end of the Drone for sure if it happened then.

Yes finally. Also Amazon does and I just received them yesterday. haven't charged them and hope they are truly "new" and haven't already been recharged multiple times as I have heard sometimes is the case on these online purchases! Will update when I get them ready.
