By buying three batteries the same size - if you can find them - if they are AAA size, then no problem. Simply solder the batteries together and apply heat shrink, or if you can't source that, then insulating tape.
Or just buy a ready built pack, which are freely available at low cost - just don't buy from Radio Shack.
Each cell is a 1.2 volt NiMh battery and the 3 cells in series are 3.6 volts. The battery charge/maintain system is designed for that voltage and battery type. Years ago, before the demise of Radio Shack locally those packs were not very expensive. I used a few and like mentioned, had to reverse the polarity of my connectors. That said using a simple Google of "3.6 Volt NiMh Phone batteries Amazon" gets me a few dozen hits with most in the $5.00 to $7.00 range which I see as cheap and easier then building a pack and needing to solder to batteries which are normally tied using a metal strip and small spot welds. Considering price I would just buy rather than build.
Bit on the dangerous side, as Li-Ion easily burst in to flames when incorrectly charged - and a crude Ni-Mh charger in a phone (just a resistor from a higher voltage) is probably as bad as you could get
3AA and 2200 mAh with wire leads. Yours may be AAA.
After doing it for many years (1975 for Ni-Cds) I was using tabbed batteries. Don't. get the ones with wire leads.
I have the part numbers for that connector and pins somewhere for your connector. I'm in bed now. You can "sometimes'` cut and splice with heat shrink. in an emergency. You can sometimes renew the pin housings.
I have a vtech phone that uses your connector and a vtech baby monitor that uses another, so I can find the part numbers/
The problem is the crimper is expensive. You'll pay about $70.00 USD for a cheap nice crimper.
I usually label the pack and it looks like I used the wrong company name. Name date, pack #. I always look for a battery with a warranty.
Used correctly, I've gotten 7-8 years out of a Ni-mH battery and they die at the same time.
A roll of Kapton tape comes in handy especially for those doors that like to fall off.

We keep various sizes at work, as we do a lot of battery replacements, and to that end also have a battery spot welder (cheap from China).
Just a word of caution about sleeving for battery packs - it's not soft and rubbery like normal heat shrink, it's hard and shiny - it's important to gently heat it, and not get it too hot, or you melt holes through it. It does make a nice professional job though, looks a lot better than sticky tape.
Has the same part number, but the picture is wrong. I've tried many times to correct it. So. Maybe Newark/Farnell is not the place to buy from if you expect the data to be correct.
