950mah battery too big to fit in X5SC.

Solution:

 Cut big hole in front of body

 Big battery is this big!

 Sticks out a bit in front.

Battery door now closes!

X5SC Quad > Battery Upgrade

The X5SC actually has a cavernous battery compartment for the small 1s 500mah battery.  This is different from the X5C battery compartment, as it opens from the rear to allow mounting the camera under the body.

The stock battery weighs 16g and measures 42mm x 24mm x 9mm









 

This is a good upgrade:

Update 2/23/2016:

 

However, does not fit inside completely to close the door.
