Hi,
I just went through this and can tell you that you need a battery pack consisting of two 18650 cells in serial connection (= 7.4v). As the pack also contains a battery management board, you'll have to get yourself some cells (preferably pre-wired) and swap the BMS from your old to the new battery.
I went for these Samsung cells as they're a nice upgrade over the cheap stock 2.600mAh ones and come with tabs pre-welded, so it's quite easy to solder the BMS on them:

You might have to see what you can get locally. Judging by charging time and power consumption, most 18650s should fit the bill, these Samsungs are certainly more than capable enough at 10 Amps constant current.
One word of advice: you'll need to remove the left-hand bass radiator in order to remove the battery from the case. When reassembling, be careful not to overtighten the six screws holding the radiator down onto the case. Mine cracked as its frame is very thin and brittle. Now it's leaking air, which is a giant pain in the backside to fix. Be smarter than me. Good luck
PS: this is my new battery with the BMS already swapped onto the new Samsung cells on the left. You should of course insulate all contacts as on the original battery pack and protect it with shrink tube. lf you're not familiar with handling lithium ion batteries, better have someone else do all this for you. Shorting them out might cause fire or even explosion.
