Looking for a battery for my Cam-FX DVR - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I've asked on a couple of other forums, and am not getting very far. I figure I'll ask here, too:

We have a Cam-FX V5 Digital Video Recorder. The thing works pretty well, but we only have one battery. On more than one occasion, I've forgotten to recharge it between events. It will NOT power the unit if I miss a recharge for a month. Note that the battery does charge, but if I don't charge it soon before the event, it won't hardly power-on the unit.

I wanted to order a couple of spare batteries, and after spending a lot of time online, found a battery that has the same voltage and amperage specs and looked about the same. When they arrived, though, the simply will not work. Every physical measurement is off by a couple of mm.

Does anyone know the PART NUMBER for the PROPER battery for these things? The samsung AB553446bab, and it's derivatives, simply will not work. Thank you.
