I've been getting a Key Fob Battery Low warning message and the key fobs aren't anywhere near the car. I exclusively use the mobile key.

Any ideas?
 
Interesting...I'm wondering if the low battery Fob warning is displaying from the last time the Fob was close. It may keep displaying it until the Fob is brought close again (with a fresh battery). I also don't use the fobs and keep them in a Farady pouch with a couple of extra batteries.

I don't know about why you are losing charge but I would be cautious about exclusively using the mobile key. Phones have been known to fail, get dropped and broken, etc. If you have it on a watch as well, then you already have a backup.
 
I also started storing my the fobs in a faraday pouch as an experiment to preserve the battery The batteries went flat in a matter of months before that, so far so good in the pouch. I'm an exclusive phone key user and carry the card key for back up access.

I don't have them in a Faraday pouch but might start. I also always have my card key as my backup if the phone fails, which it's done a couple of times!
