Not really - they are spot welded on. They can be soldered with special fluxes, but it doesn't do the batteries much good.
These come up on Google: https://www.reichelt.com/gb/en/?LANGUAG ... MgQAvD_BwE or similar batteries are available from CPC, although IIRC, theirs have tags, rather than pins, so need to be held in place with two very short pieces of wire.
The batteries you have are 1/2AA sized, so you may be able to do something with a single AA battery holder, mounted externally to the cluster, and connected on flying leads. Make sure you get the polarity right!

Are the ones you linked the right connections? I only see one pin didn't know if it had both.
