Someone is selling a Garbage Solus Pro Battery that doesn't take a charge on E-Bay for a Whopping $70, sounds pretty Mogus to me, your Bodis one different?
Last week I tried to get a quote from Primecell to rebuild my Modis battery. Below is an excerpt of the email I received back from them.
VERY SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE - WE MUST ADVISE:
DUE TO HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS - WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY BATTERIES FOR REBUILD SERVICE.
IF YOU SENT IT ----- IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO SENDER.
IF WE HAD ACCEPTED YOUR PACKAGE IT MAY HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO A LONG DELAY IN SERVICE, OR NEVER PROCESSED. NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED OR APPLIED TO YOUR ACCOUNTS. PLEASE PROCEED WITH ANOTHER COMPANY.
GOOGLE WILL REVEAL OTHERS WHO CAN PROVIDE SIMILAR SERVICE TO SOME OF OUR LISTINGS.
YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT PALES BY COMPARISON TO OUR OWN - WE ARE IN PROCESS OF CLOSING OUR BUSINESS AND WEBSITE AFTER 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS. IT IS A DIFFICULT, FRUITLESS AND EXPENSIVE TASK.
That leaves MTO as the only company I know of who can rebuild our battery packs. See
Can't you just get by with a 12V Lith Ion Jumper and modify it to properly serve as an external power source to the AC adapter charging port or directly to the battery contact points internally? Some are low profile enough to just velcro it on to the back.
Even after having my battery rebuilt i found battery life short when using the scope. i purchased a 12v 9800mah rechargable battery pack from ebay , $30.00 and added the right barrel jack to it that fit my modis. it was small enough to velcro to the back of my modis and what a difference. i still keep my modis battery in my modis when using it.

Hi, the Modis and Solus Pro batteries are totally different.
The Modis has a square box battery, and the Solus pro is a long rectangle shape.

Awesome Good for you, I had a smaller one attached to back of my old Port Freight 08 I used to turn on the auxiliary battery power to have it booted up before I plugged it in to DLC or sometimes turn on the battery power to keep it on so I could walk within range of my WIFI and print the codes displayed. After I got a decent Smart Phone with a memory card I just took pictures of the scanner screen and sent via message to customers and saved my paper and ink and shut off the WIFI connection of the scan tool after updates expired to prevent it from auto connecting to a China Server and something being screwed up. I would advise owners of newer Snap On Scanners with WIFI ,if you're update periods are over and you don't need to update for awhile or need Sure Trak to hold your hand , or find oil capacity specs to just turn your tablet's WIFI off to rule out any chance that something might partially auto load and then screw you over big time where you'll have to buy an update to fix things like some folk with Chinaman tools claimed to happened to them. There are better things to surf the internet with, so turn the WIFI off!
Anyone know where Modis replacement battery cells can be purchased?
When I took the battery pack apart I found that there were 7 cells inside. I've looked quite a bit, but I haven't found any battery cells that even come close.
aloha,

Could you post a photo of one of the cells, with something in the photo so we can determine the size [like a ruler or tape measure]? Are the cells somewhat smaller than a typical C cell? If so, that IS a standard size cell.

All individual cells are 1.2 Volts, UNLESS Lithium Ion, these are 3 volts.
Look on eBay for cells of the voltage needed, and find tagged ( easier to solder together ) in a current ( Amp/Hr ) rating suitable for your need.
That's all I do, waiting for some 6 Amp/Hr cells now for a Solus Pro battery rebuild
