Any brand will work, but there's not much else out there that uses that particular battery. The local Batteries Plus store has had several requests, but *only* from Saab owners! Their last solution was to take a battery that's the same except for being a tad thinner, I think a 1620, and pad the top with a bit of paper towel to hold the thinner cell in the place of the thicker one; it worked just fine.
I suspect that mail-ordering is the most efficient solution, though my local dealer carries them (out at the moment--we'll see which I wind up doing). Having a car with two banana remotes (original) plus one in-the-key-head, I can say that the only advantages to the banana are 1) it uses a much more common battery and 2) it's easier to open.
