Product Description
Phantom 1.5 Conversion Instructions are posted at Instructables.com.

Use the 40mm Battery Door v2 for FC40 with a Phantom 2 Replacement Shell* to convert your Phantom FC40 into a Phantom 1.5 – and fly up to 25 minutes! This is the only Phantom 1.5 conversion available for the FC40. With this combination the Phantom 1.5 can accept internally a single high-capacity standard XT60 battery OR two stock Phantom XT60 2200mah batteries in parallel providing maximum flexibility and dramatically longer flight times. Just snap the DJI Phantom FC40 1.5 40mm Battery Door in the place designed for the DJI Intelligent Battery, and enjoy ultra-low operating costs and long flight times. (Note: This model specifically for the Phantom FC40 and will not work with the Phantom 1. (For upgrading the DJI Phantom 1 to a Phantom 1.5 try the DJI Phantom 1.5 40mm Battery Door.

 

This solution is the only battery door solution available for the DJI Phantom FC40 that gives you an internal battery upgrade solution.


In addition, the 40mm Battery Door for the FC40 provides an External USB Port and a 360 degree view of the Flight Status Light from the ground. Plug your USB cable into the External USB Port on the back of the door to conveniently update your NAZA. The external port eliminates the Phantom FC40s onboard stock internal USB cable saving 10g of extra weight and adding convenience. The relocated Flight Status Light also allows enhances safety by allowing you to see the battery status from any direction on the ground – instead of just the back of the original Phantom 1.
