You can get 12v motorcycle batteries in the 20Ah range. They might not fit exactly in the hole you have, but would be interchangable in terms of voltage, and would last twice as long as what you have.
If you're using multiple batteries, and they're all 12V types, put them in parallel. That is, put - to - and + to +.
