You don't need to buy a whole roll (unless you need it for the kitchen anyway) - the foil wrapper from a chocolate bar or stick of gum will work just as well!

Just get a piece of foil about 4 cm square, and fold it over itself a few times to make a little "slab" about 1 cm to a side by a mm or so thick. Slide this between the button battery and the spring terminal, and it should apply enough pressure to maintain a good contact.
