Never had to replace the batteries in either fob, yet!

@MrSporty is the fob refurb master. Does seem odd just 1 going though.

Think that's where I had mine done if he's in Peterborough. full refurb, got the low battery message soon after getting it back.contacted them and returned for checking didn't last long after that so just used the key. When I replaced the car battery 11 days ago I decided to replace the fob batteries, with Duracell, worked fine until yesterday.
