Rat Shack carried them last time I looked. In Canada, try Future/Active part
V23GA. The 38mahr capacity is not enough for power aps but if you need 12V
light duty in a small package this is it. They cost $2.06 each, so you get 8
x 1.5V alkaline button cells inside for 2 bits each (an anachronism for 25
cents well before computers became a household name is also digital for a
quarter byte 8^).
enjoy
