    This thing is fighting me trying to put it back together... I also blew the little
    resistor (?) that is inline with one of the batteries and that is now an open in
    the circuit.

    Don't count on any side-by-side comparisons in the near future.

    All I can say is that the other Tech is very happy with his Modis pack (he only
    replaced one on the Modis not the vantagepro).

      You mean you blew the fuse?

        Hi, I've been busy and missed several posts here.

        On July 3rd you said your friend didn't remember what batteries he used and his battery case was glued shut. What lead you to decide on the batteries you mentioned below?

        Also, in a later post you said you were having trouble getting it back together. Before you close the battery case can you take a few photographs? If you can't post them here would you be willing to e-mail a photo or two?

          Sorry about the late reply... if been having health issues and put this on the back burner.

          I took the open battery pack to the battery place, where they simply matched-up a suitable battery by way of size, with the most ma/hr rating.

          Still haven't put it back together an not sure what to do with that little gizmo I fried.

          Spot welding the batteries together just like when stock is probably the best way to go, but not something I could do... soldering them is a tricky step (at least for me).

          I should have asked the store that sold the batteries if they would be willing to replace them for me.

          So far, money not well spent!

                        Thanks for the update.

                        I have one battery that is beginning to take a very short time to charge (an indication it is getting old).

                        I use both my Vantage Pro and Solus Pro only for home use, and it is nice to know there is a less expensive option for batteries.
