I am going on a trip and want to take a back up battery with me. Can I use my battery from my Olympus camera in my DC1200? It's a SDV-Li-42B 3.7v 2100mAh?

I wish. Did you compare the batteries? That is the one weak point to SL cameras - weak ass batteries. I think the Olympus DC1200 is totally different, as is the Cuisinart DC-1200 coffee maker - just similar numbers.
Amazon has several listings for SL DC 1200 battery and a spare is nice to take. Or, Ebay has cheaper, aftermarket batteries - and mine works.

I doubt that it will fit the slot.

I haven't noticed much improvement with the aftermarket batteries. In fact, use of one somehow caused my camera to no longer be able to charge batteries through it. I had to buy an extra cradle charger. Afterwards, SL customer service told me that using aftermarket batteries "could" void my warranty. Their customer service is usually pretty helpful, so just be aware of the "warning" they offered.
