    Is the battery removable so you can charge it externally?

    yes battery is flat battery removable that plugs into circuit board. its dimensions are about 4" 2".

    OK check the voltage rating. You may be able to obtain a lithium battery charger. It might even be possible to connect it to a car battery via a suitable fuse, and a bulb to limit the current while it's charging. Depends on its voltage.

    What's the voltage printed on the battery or printed in the specifications?
