Subject: Cache Battery question

I recently changed out a cache battery on a system that I've been nursing
along (520) that doesn't get used for anything but I just keep it going just
in case....
Anyway, I had bought a battery for it and replaced it last year and assumed
I'd be good for the 1000+ days it showed.  I replaced that battery a few
days ago after it screamed at me about the few days it had to live before
dying.  WTH? So I noted the days on May 11 as 2 power on days and 1001 to
warning with the intent to check it again in a few days.  Today, May 15, I
looked and it says power on days 6 and 662 days to warning! 
So is there some kind of magic IBM has with their batteries that we can't
replace a "like" battery with?
