The specs I am looking at say the DL1/3N is the same diameter as an SR-44 -
11.6mm.
Here is a site which makes the dimensional similarity clear (Walt may have
an opinion on the product):

If there are other things amiss with the body, you should turn it right
round Larry, go for the refund, there will be plenty more.

The issue isn't the height it is the diameter of the battery. The lithium
battery has a much smaller diameter then the original batteries. A black
spacer has bee put in the makes the diameter of the battery compartment
smaller so that the lithium battery will be held snuggly.
