Up to 5 years battery life, however due to the stupid design of the FOB, the buttons can be held pressed in the pocket which buggers the batteries. I get that message occasionally for that reason and ignore it. Still on the same batteries a year after I first got the message.

i thought they should last longer than i was getting, but t cars acting funny, in that sometimes it wont open , you just keep locking unlocking and then she opens, any ideas data,

Yeah, mine does that. But then, my missus can be a bit awkward sometimes too, so I just smile, do what she wants to keep the peace and move on. It's attention seeking behaviour that's all; psychologists will probably have a name for it.

Watch the LED on the fob when you press the button to unlock, if it flashes the problem is probably in the car. When you say it won't open, can you hear the solenoids activate? Otherwise check the RF receiver.

ya solenoid can be heard clicking but locks wont open, hazards flash every time, and then t interior light comes on and she s open, and just like the wife ,but i wont always peace or no peace so i ll fix her hahaha.
