Is it okay to replace the battery with a new one that has a BMS (Battery Management System) on it? The BMS is in a form of small pcb strip, and that pcb is inside the protection jacket of the battery. TIA.

Yes, just make sure the new battery has the same length as the once installed, and that the new battery can handle 18 amps of continuous discharge.
