No idea unfortunately. It’s probably reasonably straightforward, but there’s no guarantees.

I generally avoid buying anything with a non-user replaceable battery for this precise reason.

Open it up, check the battery and/or battery pack for model and/or part numbers, find/purchase those same parts, replace.

Or get the Live2.

It's a tough one, not sure what the resale value is of an mpc live with no working battery, but would anyone want to buy it other than for 'spares or not working'? It might actually work out cheaper to replace the battery and then sell it.

BTW, I think that battery on MPCstuff is an Akai official part, not one of MPCstuff's in-house replacements, so the price is pretty much set by Akai.
