My laptop battery died suddenly, so I measured the voltage which was zero,

If I can't find the correct replacement part I am considering replacing
with
some sort of a wired fuse any thoughts on this welcome, battery is
10v-4500mAh.


Just replace it with a non resettable thermal fuse, plenty to choose
from in RS, here's one:

I have been looking at

and this

would a thermal fuse be better in this application then a current operated
one.
