Rob,
Yes, you can go to Radio Shack-that is where I have gone to pick up a spare battery for my remote.
The battery is a 12V remote control battery of Type 23A. The Radio Shack code for it is 23-144.

The RadioShack part # is 23-154 for a 2 pack. As Steve said, it is a 12v battery + it's inexpensive, so buy 2. Use 1 for your replacement. Keep the other in the car in case your remote battery should die - to avoid a world of trouble w/o a functioning remote.
BTW, the same battery is used in many garage door remotes - it's a pretty common size (same as #23, 23M, VR22, EL22 - among others).
