Plus Battery in UK (47 minute battery)

There was a UK seller on eBay selling the extended batteries. He had 2 iirc, not sure if they’re gone now.
 
Got one delivered to Ireland today, no extra VAT. Came to total of €148 with the quickest delivery from Sky Fly. Very quickly dispatched and took just 9 days from shipping to get here. I would use again.
 
126 quid for a single extended battery? You could buy 2 standard batteries from Amazon UK for that price. I’ll wait until the price is more reasonable before purchasing the extended version.
 
95$ + tax so a bit more than that? From my point of view, I’m willing to pay the price for the benefit it gives me.
In Australia they're $150AUD tax included, to think they're costing more than double what the original mini batteries cost for an extra 15min flight time you're paying a bit of a premium for the what's probably about $5 worth of LiIon cells.
 
I'd like to see what real flight times you get from an extended battery ,a normal battery I'm getting about 26mins max landing with about 15% left ,so nowhere the 34 mins claimed by dji

They never are near the official figures are they! Today I flew for 20m and and battery always down to 51%. I’ll try a few flights and let you know, but it is a pretty decent improvement.

I had a look at my flights with the normal battery and most are between 21-25m. I’d say 26m would be making me a bit uncomfortable on battery level and I’d usually push it quite a bit!
 
Only had the plus batteries for a few days, but so far I'm getting about 40 min which is fantastic. I did a 20 sec hyperlapse which took 26 min of shooting and I still had 30% battery. I plan to do some better planning (get the battery fully charged, get my flight plan set in advance, etc) and see if I can get close to 30 sec hyperlapse. For me that would be a big jump from my Air 2S.

Also, since the latest update (v01.00.0201) hyperlapse vids seem to be more stable. Only done two, so maybe too early to say, but I was not happy with the hyperlapse stability before.

I got 30 mins on the extended battery with 22% battery remaining. Extrapolating that out put me at 37mins est on the extended battery.
 
Received the Fly More Kit Plus in the UK today, £239 delivered, all in.

Well worth the £80 premium over the standard Fly More Kit (£159) I think - works out £40 extra per battery for the Plus batteries.

It's great not having to pay too much attention to the battery level when out flying.
