Li-Ion Battery replacement

Probably not.This battery looks very long, too long to fit into a cell
phone, and has a cable with a plugh, which was *never* a way to connect
batteries to cell phones.Isn't it possible to order the OEM one for your
device?

As Pete already pointed out, these are LiPoly accus.
Since model airplane pilots like these accu cells, it would be
easiest to find a store or online shop which carries this
kind of stuff.
You will get single cells, so you need 2.
These are sometimes labeled as "Kokams". Bring your old pack
to check the dimensions.

It might reduce your per unit cost if you order more than one, which
probably won't increase the shipping cost.
