You can replace it with any 18650 Li Ion cell. If you don’t mind a bit of soldering, Samsung Li Ion 18650s are reliable.

Hmm, that could be tempting fate.
There is a seldom used Aldi/Lidl soldering iron in the shed.
Have removed the outer plastic cover to reveal the manufacturer's claimed capacity was 1800mAh. -
You can't solder an 18650 unless it comes with tabs or wires pre-attached. Ignoring the dangers of trying, it won't stick unless you use extremely caustic flux.

Mature, distant neighbour sought my assistance with a small radio with a rechargeable battery that no longer recharged.
Found this inside.
Any one know of reputable source?
Is the plug to connect to the socket on the circuit board standard?
