PRAM Battery

Does anyone know the Radio Shack part number for a Mac PRAM battery? I have a G4/800 desktop (Quicksilver 2002), but I believe it¹s the same battery they¹ve used for numerous models over the years.
Thanks for your help.

Mac Logic board battery part numbers from different suppliers/mfrs:
Tadiran Lithium Inorganic TL 5101 (at Batteries Plus stores, or mailorder (purple body))
Radio Shack 23-026 (the Tadiran battery but more expensive. Last time I looked they were asking $15 or more)
NuPower ER 14250 OWC (macsales.com) (yellow body)) cheap $4.99
ABLE 3.6V www.mac-battery.com

If you are not in a hurry, OWC (Other World Computing) has them for $5-$7. They are a great Mac accessory, memory, hardisks, etc supplier. It is a 3.6v lithium battery.
These PRAM batteries last about 5 years, but some have reported them lasting 7 years.
I am just a satisfied customer, no connection to the company.

The Duracell CR2 fits in. its a 1/2 AA litium cell like the pram battery is. but it lasts quite awhile. My two macs have one in each! It however isn't the cheapest way at $7 a pop but this thing has more maH than the standard tandian does.
