You should just be able order any random lipo battery that is 3.7v and has a discharge controller

I took my tablet apart today to get the dimensions of the battery because im thinking of doing the same thing.

154mm x 65mm x 3mm
The battery is stuck on to the back of the screen pretty well so you will need something thin to separate it from the glue.
You will need to unsolder the old battery from the board and resolder the new battery.

A battery like this should work but this isnt an upgrade because it is 400 mAh less than the current battery in the HI8

And here is a teardown video to show you what it looks like on the inside (not my video)
