Can anyone good with computers help me out please?

I have a used gaming laptop (maingear vector model number MG-VCTR001-1660TI) I try charging it and it won't turn on no matter how long i charge it for, I think it's the battery because before this it had an issue where it'd seem charged then immediately die after logging on.

I'm trying to see if I can replace the battery instead of getting a new laptop entirely but when I try looking up the laptops info with "replacement battery", only links to the laptop itself show up and no batteries.

Am I looking up the wrong info?

Can it even be replaced?

If it can, can I use any battery that's compatible and how would I know if it is?

    Its unlikely but just very weird, laptops usually work even with removed battery on charger. You sure you haven't spilled something? It could be some short, when you open it up just check for scorch marks and weird smell as well.
