Hi Hanifah!
The battery is called "DB-110" by Ricoh, but there are similar models with other names. If you click on the link "LI‑92B" in the parts list you get all the details.

Thank you for your post. I just called Ricoh for assistance and was referred to www.precisioncamera.com/ricoh, where I was quoted $833 to replace the battery.

I have just ordered a replacement battery on Amazon and will be doing it myself. Ricoh and PrecisionCamera can go FYT!

Where can I find the specific 00 torx screwdriver?

You need a Phillips #00 Screwdriver and a T4 Torx Screwdriver. You should easily get them in a set.
I bought this one in Germany: https://toom.de/p/feinmechaniker-satz-sl...
