After searching for this particular battery pack I am going to guess that these have become obsolete. That being said, I can't see why it wouldn't be possible to carefully split the heat shrunk plastic from your non charging packs, de-solder the connector pads and retrofit them to replacement batteries with the label or a home made version using heavy duty tape.

"Batteries+" is a retail chain that carries a Rayovac "RAYNO5100LB" battery pack that they say fits this camera, for about $38. A link to this battery on BatterisPlus is here.
Google shopping search results for that battery part number turns up others selling it or its equal for as little as $10 and up. You may find still more sources for the battery by investigating these links or searching ebay.
