What batteries can I replace this one with?

Hey guys. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I'm not sure where else I would.

Obviously, this battery is... Out of commission. I'm just wondering what other batteries I could use to replace it with. Perhaps I need to find specifically the model used by the manufacturer.

Also, if this is even possible, ide appreciate if someone could tell me what the name of the port is that it uses.

I'm sorry if I'm not providing the right information, I'm not sure what's needed. If there's anything else you would need to know, please just let me know.

Thank you so much

Yeah, it's an RCA Voyager 3. Really sucks, not recommended at all lol.

This looks like it?

Searching for "MH49370 battery" will yield results.

Yeah, I saw that one. The issue is that the battery inflated in around 4 months even with regular use. Im not sure why it did that, or what it means, but my research seems to indicate that it is an issue of battery quality. I was wondering if its possible to replace it with any other battery that uses the same port. Cause, theoretically, it should be just like a power supply right?

Yeah you can take any 3.7V consumer cell... So even a iPhone battery.

Ok, great. Thank you. Do you know the search term I should use to find batteries with this specific port/connector? I know from previous repairs that, my phone for example, has a different connector.

That would be difficult...however..how versatile are you with soldering? Or do you have somebody who can solder electronics? Regarding this specific connector, I cannot help you, sorry.
