There are different quality's of batteries like any thing else and some sit around and run down a % every month.  There is always the manufacturing flaw that causes it to short out and die, but to tell you the truth buy an Energizer for around $2 or so and change it out.  The watch movement has a holder of a specific size that is the numbers on a bat. same as the larger AA's and D's.  Standard alkaline and lithium are diff voltages for the same amount of anode and cathode material so they are diff sizes so you can not mix them up and put them in a movement that they are not designed for.  As sure as I say this there will be some sizes that can interchange, but not as a rule.
