Pretty sure that isn't the right one! Looks too small and will move about in the housing which isn't safe. Although, check the power ratings, output ect. and if its the same then you could try using foam padding to secure it in the battery case.

I have a "shorter" battery installed if the new one has B13 clamp down (I think) the metal bracket will fit into the V marks on the bottom.
