it's fairly likely the specifications of that battery are hidden in the name, but this information may be incorrect too:

xh370-10 phy-lion
lion => probably lithium ion
370 => probably 37 volts, a common voltage for lithium e-bike batteries
10 => it's possible this refers to "10 amp hours"

If you can answer yes to all of these questions about a replacement battery, then the replacement battery will do what you want:

is the total energy storage of the battery suitable for you? (for a lot of people, 36volts 10 Amp hours is enough. if you want to go 100 miles, you probably want more than 10 amp hours)
is the voltage suitable for you? (chances are good that you want 36 to 37 volts)
is the discharge rate suitable for you? [the answer is probably yes, unless you are doing something unusual like using a high power (such as 1500 watts) motor, or using low capacity (such as 4 amp hours) battery]
can you get the battery connected to your system easily enough? (if you are willing to solder on your own electrical connectors for the battery, then the answer is yes; soldering is inexpensive and it's possible to learn by reading up on it on the internet)
