I bought one like this but not the exact same one off ebay. My one was 6000 mah instead of 6500.

But it says its 7.4v ( like mine did)
The xl2 is meant to use 7.2v

But my 7.4v 6000mah works ok, so this should too. Maybe its taking a risk by using it though, since its not the correct voltage.

I don't know if they're selling any on e-bay right now, but if you want one just e-mail them and they will probably have them. Thats what I did after I got one and decided I needed another, even though they didn't list any.

I've never actually used them until they run out.
I've only done one project since I got my XL2, and it took about 2.5 hours of switching it on and off, and surprisingly, the standard battery lasted that long.

So I don't really know yet! But I figure they must be at least as good as the one that came with it, as they are meant to have nearly twice the capacity.
The most I used one for was probably about 45 mins of switching it on and off while testing settings, and after that the battery indicator still showed full.
