You may have a Winter Pack Bongo, or someone may have fitted a leisure battery under the bonnet.

Do you have a switch with a little engine symbol down by your right knee? This is a Winter model.

If so it will be best to replace the batteries as a pair.

If you have a leisure battery (rather than winter pack) you may not need another LB in the kitchen pod. As for size it's just down to what will fit, a visit to a supplier should sort this.

Translated manual in the member area but it doesn't have any info about battery type: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... itchen.pdf

You could remove the battery from the unit and take it into somewhere like Motaman in Brown Street, or whatever they're called these days. They used to have a wide range of batteries in stock.
