you can take a small flat head screw driver and pop it open pretty easily at the seams. once ya do that, you'll know what battery it is ;). All I remember is it's 3V - and that's only because it doubles as an LED tester ;)

Doesn't say in the book.... I would think THAT far but if you notice a decrease in range is probably the battery.

mine have always - even when they and the car where brand new - only worked from within 20-30 feet at most.

it is easiest to open then if you take it off the ring and then pry between the the two tabs sticking out on the end where the ring goes through..
mine used to work about 40 - 50 ft i would say max...LOL it used to also work from the 9th floor of my appartment building to though...
and yeah 2032
