I have changed the batteries just once since 7/22 and keep them stored in these pouches too.

The FOB Battery seems to have been an issue per my mobile service, they say they change the FOB Batteries every time they go to service a car.

Mine don’t even seem to last 2 months and I keep them In my Farraday Pouch and Box. I also hardly ever use them but carry the Pouch in case the iPhone App decides not to work, which has happened a couple of times.

Two things we all need to know about the fob battery.
1. The battery initially used in the fob is pure junk, made by an obscure Chinese manufacturer that Amazon doesn't carry. When you replace it, use a good one.
2. If you store your fob too close to the Lucid, then the battery will wear down faster because it is in continuous communication with the car. If you must store it close to the car, put it in a Faraday pouch. My first battery lasted 2 months, then I replaced it with a good battery that was still working when the service center replaced it. That replaced battery last 3 months. Also had a problem with the visor light batteries. Replacement battereis still working after 1 year.
