On the
Control System Page it has a link to the support page for where you could request warranty service. I do not know if the battery is covered, as they often have different terms.
You could also buy a replacement battery.

you might even be able to find a supplementary battery to extend the battery capacity

Lithium-ion batteries are actually one of the worst types of batteries for long term usage. See

Aging of lithium-ion is an issue that is often ignored. A lithium-ion battery in use typically lasts between 2-3 years. The capacity loss manifests itself in increased internal resistance caused by oxidation. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the pack can no longer deliver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge.
