Replacement battery

That may be because MiRider take a one-bot and change a lot of it, including motor/wheels, the electronics (KT controller/display) and use higher capacity cells in their battery... this latter may even be made to their own specification. If I were being cynical, I'd suggest it's in MiRiders own interests to stop you using an ebay/cheapo/onebot replacement.
A MiRider rep has been here on the form before; maybe he can comment?
This is the pack inside and has 5 wires, all the packs I have seen have 4 wires and are bigger and would not fit in the case.

That's just a branch off the main one then, so you can wire those two pins together. Likewise, the thin black next to it can be wired to the main ground.
If your battery is scrap, you can peel back the blue covering and see how those wires are connected to the BMS.
Normally, you get C- for charge negative switched by BMS, B- for cell-pack negative; B+ for cell-pack positive; P- for power negative switched by BMS. Sometimes you get a P+ for battery positive, which is sometimes needed by the BMS, but often just used as an anchor point to take any other positives from. Occasionally, there are two additional wires for a battery switch that manually switches on/off the BMS. Finally, some batteries have one-way or 2-way comms, so one or two extra wires, which are normally quite thin and not black or red, like yellow, green or white.
