Part number for the battery is: Panasonic VL2020
Edit: And if you aren't comfortable dealing with the above batteries incorrect pin placement. This one has the correct 90 degree pin placement for the diamond style key circuit boards.

Replacing the battery itself is easy. Hardest, part is splitting the case open without damaging the EWS chip. Ruin the EWS antenna coil and the key is only good for opening the doors. You will never be able to start the car if the EWS chip or antenna is damaged.
