Order it on Amazon. Our garage door remotes use that one. They last a LONG time.
If the batteries arrive today, I'll have five long-lasting batteries for two seldom-used remotes. I connected a timer to the outlet, rather than using the remote.

A lot of batteries have several different part numbers depending on who the manufacturer is or what part of the world they're made in. Look at a AA battery. Chances are good you'll see LR6 next to the AA. The A23 is only sold in 1 or 2 packs because it's only used in a few devices like a fan or garage door remote. AA & AAA batteries go in a multitude of devices including thousands of kids toys. The problem with rechargeable batteries is they usually have about 1/3 of the charge capacity of a similar battery that is not rechargeable. Nicad & Nickel-Metal rechargeable batteries are also 1.2 volts where alkaline batteries are 1.5 volts. A lot of devices don't like the reduced voltage & won't work with them.

Imagine if other things had different numbers, depending on the manufacturer - AA batteries, clothing, tools, car tires. As if model names of products were confusing enough already.

You'd be amazed how many people don't understand that the same battery can have a different part number based on the manufacturer. I regularly have people tell me that an LR6 and an AA aren't the same or a Duracell DL2032 isn't the same as a CR2032.
