I think I would probably just check the dimensions and make my own battery 'pack' instead, using something like this (assuming that has the correct dimensions). You'd need to tape (or, preferably, heatshrink) 2 of those together and solder wires to them instead. Don't solder directly to the battery though; some batteries have been known to explode when exposed to excessive heat from a soldering iron.

I cut my old one open too when it failed but that was largely out of curiosity. After determining that it wasn't worth repairing, I swiftly binned it and replaced it. Replacements units were readily available at the time though; I might have been more inclined to persist with the repair if they weren't. In any case, I like chirps; it's a helpful confirmation that all the doors are fully closed and locked as you walk away (since it won't chirp if any are left ajar). So I'd still repair or replace if possible.
