What BillW said about LiPo being potentially dangerous is true. But don't b=
e
suprised if it IS a LiPo and has no special protective circuitry - i've had
china-made electronics just like that before (and actually I had one of
those "spy cam" keyfob video recorders fail when the battery puffed up and
split the case).

If you're taking things apart, take the working one apart (when it is 100%
charged) and measure the voltage of the cell. 4.2V would further confirm th=
e
lithium polymer type.

Once you are sure that the cell is a Lipo, I think it would be safe to
replace it with another one, if you transferred the protection electronics
(if there are any).
