I looked at the battery list. Several are only available in Europe and some are no longer in business. Take a look at Fortress Batteries. Great LI tech, warrantee, price point, several models and a long service life ( 6000 full cycles ) in the meantime you might want to clean off the battery corrosion then wipe a light glaze of Vaseline around the entire terminal area, will keep the corrosion away.
