Green Force F2 battery - soldering question

The used Green Force I took out for its first dive on Saturday failed to operate and having worked out how to get into the battery canister I can see why now.



As (hopefully!) can be seen from the photo, one of the battery tags has broken, and what's not obvious is that it's not a new break. It's broken and has been badly repaired in the past, which is why it's failed again. Another two batteries have also been resoldered, but the connection still looks ok between those.

As the guy I got it from doesn't seem to be around here any longer, and I rather stupidly deleted the PM with his address on it I'm rather stuck.

So, with new F2 batteries listed as £175 I was wondering whether this can be properly repaired? I'm quite skilled and experienced at soldering, but have never attempted batteries before.

Any words of wisdom from the collective?
