What sort of battery does it have? Is it a stupid proprietary

Yes. The Ni-MH ones have four 'slots' in the side of the connector.
The Hi capacity ones have five slots.

The sort I have is a NiCD type, cylinder type. Which bolts on under
the bottle cage.

Not sure what is meant by slot?

Oh and could I run these lights of another battery rig from another
company?

Whatever you do, getting a connector to match the proprietary one will
be a problem. You could cut the one that you have off and put a
plug/socket pair in line from it so you can connect a different
charger (the Mascot ones from RS are good) or use this short tail as
an adaptor to a different battery pack. http://www.modelpower.co.uk/
will make up custom packs for you if they don't have anything
off-the-shelf to match what you already have. They sell chargers too
but they're usually the sort to let you recharge your model aircraft
from your car battery, not from the mains at home.
