** Means there are 6 AA " high capacity" cells inside.
WES may have some Sanyo KR900 cells available - but they will be old stock.
Replacement with NiMHs is the way to go - capacity will then be 2000mAh or
more - check the old cells for height, it may be critical to get
replacements that are no taller.

** Cut the damn thing open round the middle - use a hack saw if necessary.
Bind it back together with some 3M Strapping Tape - like normal tape but
thicker and with fibreglass strands.
