Question Battery for 2018 Contact 250 ES

Hello, I am a new rider and bought a 2018 Contact 250 ES with a lithium ion battery under the seat that needs replacing. The factory battery was a TXT Part # ET40000GG-CKW-1 that Gas Gas no longer manufactures. The battery currently in the bike is a Power Thunder LFP7Z which exists but can't be imported into the US; won't clear customs, they say. I can't find a battery with the specific dimensions the original had, to fit inside the compartment under the seat. An EarthX FTZ5G will probably fit height-wise but is too small in the length & depth and may take some rigging to fill in. The KTM dealers say they didn't buy rights to the bike in the buyout and don't have a replacement battery and don't know what to suggest. I contacted most of the larger trials & parts dealers with no luck. Has anyone else run into this problem or have a suggestion? Thanks so much!
