Because Joerg_RW says the original is a li-ion battery not a cap. (post #1)
That's not a battery. For very long time I also thought this component is a battery but no - This is a capacitor. It should have even its parameters on the side

Does this 0.2V makes a difference?
Does not matter in this case.

Exactly, if you can't find or solder a new one, you can just remove it to prevent main battery from draining.
