Unfortunately the battery that came with the reader has a different type of connector, so I can't try it out.
You could use the existing leads, still attached to the connector, and solder the new battery's leads to the leads from the old connector.

You might find it easier to remove a battery, if you can work some solvent saturated dental floss under the battery.
