So I understand that the key battery can be removed and replaced any
time without having to reset anything?
Re car battery - will the car typically hold the memory ok if one took
say 5-10 min to install a new battery?
The manual says nothing except to 'normalize' the power window by
rolling a window down half way and then close it and hold the button
for a second.

For the remote unlocking system, 5-10 minutes should be quick enough to
change the car battery, however, the radio, clock, and powertrain ECM will
lose memory. If you are going for an emissions test soon, the ECM will have
to be put into the ready state by driving 2 trip cycles.

What does that (no ECM) do to driving ability????

How do you define two trip cycles? Start the wreck twice???

There is a specific definition of a "trip cycle," depending on the vehicle,
engine, and transmission combination that involves a cold start, driving at
specific speeds for specific distances, then shutting down for a certain
amount of time and starting over.
