Nope. These are the ones that I mentioned don't fit very well. Both the size (coil base diameter) and shape don't fit right. By shape, what I mean is the 'bar' that connects the 2 coils at the base of the original springs connects diagonally, while on these the bar is straight.

These can be made to work (I have some of these too) with some work but the result isn't quite right. And who wants to use a 41 with batteries that aren't quite right.
