I'd also gladly swap it for ya if you're down for shipping it. Don't know what game it is or how much value it has, but it would take me about a minute to swap it for ya. Prolly mail it back to you the same day that it arrives ;)

Hmm... problem is I don't use Paypal. Then again, to ship a small game boy cart probaly wouldn't cost much more than $1.50.
I also have a spare mailer, so this option would be ideal, as buying another cartridge would cost $20.

If you're shipping it to him, you could always throw a few bucks in with it. :D

This is very true, but...

...honestly, I wasn't gonna charge you to do it. Like I said, it'll take no time at all. If you ship it to me with the new battery and a SASE, then I'll just send it back when I'm done.

I think this only applies to stuff like Pokemon Gold/Silver, where the battery is powering the internal clock at all times.
