You are not going to find it without changing the battery mounting plate and wiring. Batteries are proprietary.
The replacement battery is only $319 from Vitilan. That’s pretty cheap as batteries go.
Look at gouach.com for a custom repairable battery you could put on your back rack. They are a vendor here

Thanks for your response. A friend of mine tells me he can repair my battery and save me some money. I mean a battery could cost half of what the bike cost me new. He's very good at stuff like that so I'm going for it . I think
Make sure he has the proper tools for welding the nickel strips to the batteries. Solder is a disaster waiting to happen.
Battery cells need to be balanced and a matched set throughout the battery. Replacing one or two cells is not a good idea.
Each battery string should be replaced as a set from a common batch.
You are going to need over a hundred cells to completely rebuild the battery (assuming the BMS is good). That is going to cost you at least $150 even if you use dangerous uncertified Chinese cells. When the China tariffs kick in that cost will go up.
Then you need wiring and assembly materials.
When you are all done you will have a fire hazard with no warranty. If your friend screws it up you are SOL.
I strongly suggest being safe and buying the Vitilan replacement.

People who are inexperienced in this arena don't understand or accept the reality of how expensive a battery is that is done right. And they generally don't get why its more expensive until they have to shell out for a new one prematurely, or pay their fire insurance deductible after part of their house burns down.
