Acorn 180 Ni-Cd Batteries

My mother in law has an Acorn Curve 180 stairlift. It has not been used for a while, and now some of the cells in the batteries fitted in the lift have failed. I suspect that it was left stationary with the mains supply switched off.
Before we spend £300 on Li-ion replacements, I wondered if anyone had experience of what D cells are used in the Ni-Cd batteries previously fitted?
These battery packs are marked: Freeway Ni-Cd. D5000mAh 12V Acorn 180
And the D size cells inside (10 in each pack) are printed with the legend: RDPACD5 03If I could establish what the current rating of the cells is I might see if I can find a source for such, with a view to making up a couple of replacement batteries if the economics made this practical.

I had to replace the batteries for my father’s Acorn Curve 180. You will probably have to ship from China. I got two from here: https://hubatsmall.com/li-ion-18650-5600mah-14-8v-4s4p-rechargeable-battery-acorn-180-for-stairlift.html
Took a few weeks to get the the US. Don’t know how long it would take to reach the UK.
