Look inside it? Probably a little button battery, and if you are amazed by the price in your local shops, try this site>

www.7dayshop.com extreamly cheap batteries to be had. Recently I had to buy a CR2032 from my local Jessops, a pair was about £6.99 from the web address, UNDER A POUND. Been using them for years, excellent products and service.

Not a bad price, get 2 from www.7dayshop.com for £1.59, but guess if you only want one then you probably got a good deal.
