Options to replace/upgrade battery on MacPro 2014

Apple have ceased production of this battery leaving me with a laptop with very short battery usage, and losing power even though the unit is closed but not shut down. The message about power consumption on the battery symbol suggests that the problem is driven by high power usage of spotlight. Curious, since I rarely use it.


Any recommendations, including where a replacement battery might be procured?


Thanks
