A new battery costs £400!
Is there any cheaper alternative? Could I recell battery?

Please make it easy for us. Show us clear photos from all directions including underneath.It looks like a standard silver fish battery, which you can get for less than £200, but I need photos to confirm.

You can re-cell it if you buy a standard silver fish battery and swap the entire contents, which is cheaper and easier than buying the individual cells.

Batteries with that case are hard to find. You might get lucky if you have a long trawl through Aliexpress. The cell-pack from a standard silver fish battery, just fits in that case. If you can solder, you can swap the cell-packs. Other than that, you can use any battery. You just remove the plate under your battery abd run the wires through the hole to your controller.
