After saying all this I do not recommendsome DIY stuff if you have no experience but
Steps I would do:
1 - Battery get the dimension shown in the picture, dont worry about the dogs leg and find a 12V battery that would slot in. The lead coming off the old battery can be cut off and reterminated onto the new battery.
2 - Any reason for getting the cig lead, or just need another one? If so easy enough to make , you can buy RCA connectors from most electronics shop. Even i have stack of them and solder it onto a cig lead which can also be bought from most shop. Just need to know which is Postive and Negative.

3 - Charger looks like a generic mains plug pack with a cig lead. I am assuming the system work with car battery as well so a simple unregulated power supply of plug pack would suffice.
Ciggy power supply (a bit overkill but) -
