Thanks for your reply.
The base of a HL1 does not appear to be the same as a HL2 so I have concluded they are not compatible. The HL1 battery and base have 3 tabs whereas the HL2 battery and base have 2 tabs. My searches suggest that the only supplier selling HL1 batteries are Whoosh bikes which is where I bought the original. Unfortunately they are a lot more expensive than other suppliers but at this point I don't think I have a choice.
