They look to be very standard batteries.
I would look through Aliexpress for one the same size and spec with or woit out the same plug as you could change the plug your self.

I have a suppision that when turned off the Freesat finder still uses a little power from the battery.
Just the way the circuit looks with the 12v supply still connected to the 13/18v circuit on the board make me think this.
Over a few months this will drain the battery and kill it. Buying one that was made some time back could arrive with a dead battery this way.

I need to test the unit to confirm this.
