Welcome to the forums. I think we may need a bit more info. can you post a pic of it? Is it a Paramount brand 'computer'?

The best I can do is give you the Schwinn part number for the PDG 6, 8, & 10 computer battery, which is 08 500.

08 500 is described in the 1989 parts & accessories catalog as "PDG C-I Battery 1.5V" and was priced at $1.75 ea.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is these:

Those do work in TONS of things, but I think in this case they are too large.

Wrong voltage too; the PDG Series 8 computer takes a 1.5 volt cell.

I'd think you could just measure the diameter and depth of the battery compartments and find a 1.5 volt button cell with a form factor (physical dimensions) that fits.
