Cowboy C4 Battery - Revival attempt support (London, UK)

Long-story short, a mixture of going through a separation with my former partner and later an injury (smashed heel bone) meant that my Cowboy got forgotten about and is now obviously unresponsive. It has probably been 2 years since I last rode it.

I got a 18650 battery to swap the one in the logic board but haven't done that yet, parked it for now just in case reviving the main battery is enough.

But I am now stuck with the battery... Unfortunately the reset plan didn't do anything and I am not sure how to move forward. Is anyone in London (SE10 or nearby) knowledgeable enough to see if anything can be done? Or anyone you'd recommend to bring the battery to? I don't have the tools or skill to do any kind of soldering, nor it seems the most smart thing to do with 0 competency on it.

As many people here do, I have a love-hate relationship with my Cowboy and I really don't want to spend nearly £500 on a battery, only for something else to break later. This bike is like a black hole that sucks money into it and I am looking for a cheap way to revive it and if all of that fails, I will try and sell it "as is" or just keep it collecting dust in my bike rack.
