It seems you found all the info we need, all we've got to do now is to order them right?
There are two problems :
1. With each 3/5F6S being 34mm in length plus the metal former being say 1mm thick it means the length of the battery pack becomes ~70mm, since the metal former is doubled over on the length of the battery. The Aiwa PB-S5 battery is 68mm, anymore than this and you are likely to have issues closing the battery door on the Aiwa.
2. The link I supplied is for alibaba.com, it is for a Chinese manufacturer/wholesaler. So in all probability you're going to need to buy in bulk just to have a couple to test with, with the risk of validating point 1. Do you know of a supplier that can supply them of smaller amounts?
Don't get me wrong, aside from the above points then it is actually quite good news.
They've managed to double the PB-S5 mAh capacity to 550, and devise a way of diverting the negative pole back to the negative battery contact. Definitely kudos for that, and kudos to you for finding it.
