Careful Answer: SOMETIMES. But ALWAYS check the label of the lithium battery in question to make sure it is rated for "1.5v" before attempting to use it as a replacement for an alkaline battery.
Explanation:
Alkaline primary batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell.
Lithium primary ("primary"=disposable) batteries USUALLY have a nominal voltage of "3v" per cell.
There are some Lithium primary cells, AA's for example, that have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell which makes them a suitable replacement for alkaline batteries.
To complicate matters, however, there are rechargeable lithium-ion cells in the AA format which have a nominal voltage of 3.6v per cell, and more commonly there are "Lithium Phosphate" AA's which have a nominal voltage of 3.2v or 3.3v per cell. Using either of these as a replacement for alkaline batteries would be potentially destructive for both the batteries and the device you install them in.

Does a Rado watch need an akaline battery or a lithium one?
Rado watches typically use silver oxide batteries instead of alkaline or lithium batteries. It is recommended to use the specific battery type recommended by Rado to maintain the performance and longevity of the watch.
Comparing Lithium Batteries To Alkaline Batteries?
Lithium batteries use some type of lithium in their construction and are different from more traditional alkaline batteries. One of the key features of lithium batteries is the increase in the amount of electricity that is produced from a certain size of battery when compared to alkaline batteries. This feature also has a drawback, however, since a lithium battery can have a very harmful reaction when short circuited inside of a device. This can actually cause the battery to discharge electricity and heat very quickly, potentially igniting the battery itself.
What are examples of primary batteries?
A R6 batterry for a table watch is an example.
Where can one purchase a 9v power supply?
9V batteries are a type of alkaline battery. The alternative is a lithium battery. Alkaline batteries use zinc as an anode whereas lithium batteries use lithium. Lithium batteries produce higher voltage and have a longer lifespan, thus they are more expensive.

Is Alkaline better than lithium?
Depends on the usage. In low power drain devices operated mostly at room temperature, alkaline batteries are probably better. In high power drain devices sometimes operated at high or low temperatures, lithium is definitely better. It is best to use what the manufacturer of the device the battery will be used in recommends.
What battery alkaline or rechargeable for a computer mouse?
Use the battery recommended by the manufacturer in the owner's manual for the wireless mouse. This might be alkaline, lithium, nicad rechargeable, nickel metal hydride rechargeable, lithium rechargable, etc.
