Batteries on electric bikes are basically a consumable. Most of the stuff I've seen is that they tend to need replacing after a few years regardless of how much they've been used. If I were buying a second hand electric bike, I buy it on the understanding it'll need a new battery.
You can refurb batteries, but I wouldn't attempt it if you didn't know what you were doing. But basically you open the battery case up and try to find similar cells and replace like for like. Might be better to look for a replacement battery from the manufacturer though.
Suggest you ask over here:

as they are a really helpful and knowledgable bunch.
